OK, OK! I confess! I didn't put enough thought into the list of
words that I claimed were the longest without repeats.  This is
what happens when you trust on-line dictionaries to contain
every word in English.

To those who pointed out that `ambidextrously' is longer than
any of the words I gave, you're right, I should have caught that...

To those who pointed out that 'uncopyrightable' is longer still,
how about 'uncopyrightables'? (16 letters)

These, of course, are all shorter than 'vodkathumbscrewingly'.
Or how about 'abcdefgjklmnopqrtuvwxyz-ish' (26 letters)- the property posessed
by words not containing the letters 'I', 'S' or 'H'.
