Hi all,

I saw a very interesting question on the braille-uk list today.  Bearing
in mind the slight differences between UK and US braille, has anyone any
suggestions?

Here's the question.

"This thread has caused me to wonder what the longest English word which
cannot contain any contractions might be. The best I could come up with
was irresponsibilities. It certainly is a bit of a walk for the fingers
on words like this. Can anyone come up with a longer word which cannot
in any way be contracted?"
