Whomever named this was extremely cruel because those who have it can’t pronounce it.
I thought this was going to be about the programming language. :/ I blame XKCD

Don’t look up the fear of long words
“Hippopotomonstroses-quippedaliophobia” hahahaha. props to whoever made that.

Same thing with the guy who named it ‘dyslexia.’
This word is actually not named maliciously at all. From Greek:
“Dys,” meaning “bad,” or “abnormal,” like in Dysfunctional
“Lexia” from “Lexis,” meaning “reading.” Think of “lexicon.”
So now you have a perfectly normal word in Greek that came to the modern age and now is ironic because it’s not exactly native
Try pronouncing “stuttering” while stuttering
