Evidence of British English and American English diverging. It's spelled behavior, here, msword thinks so, anyway. I also noticed that you british folk spell connection connexion. I think that's pretty cool:cool:
Actually we spell connection, connection. Don't know where you got that word from
An MSWord f*cking sucks so meh!! :p

Both forms are allowed but 'connexion' is less common nowadays. I sometimes use it - also 'reflexion'.

Ron.

By the way is antidisestablishmenterianism a word?
EvilPoet 02-14-03, 11:23 PM Yes it is a word - a very long word. ;)
Here is what it means:
"Antidisestablishmentarianism is a political philosophy that
is opposed to the separation of church and state. The term
originated in the context of the nineteenth century Church
of England; antidisestablismentarians were opposed to
proposals to remove its status as the state church of
England." -Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidisestablishmentarianism)

The longest word that I (actually don't) know is for a disease contracted by coal miners. But then modern medicine and chemistry can concoct some very long composite words.

Uses the radiant energy of the sun to drive the synthesis of ATP. This is a process seen only in cells capable of photosynthesis. Light energy activates chlorophyll causing it to transfer an electron to an electron transport chain and, in the process, produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
