A literary challenge

Does the sentence have to make sense?
Does it have to be gramattically correct?

I do not want every little mistake crashing computers constantly.

I am too busy..
1 2   3   4...There!hehe

My Comp prof. would have shot me for this...

I am, man, here, alone, having trouble counting fiduciary statements faultlessly, convincingly - alternatively, unsuccessfully & unproductively, extraordinarily.

I am too sure words become lengthy facilely, syllables
repeatedly re-repeating,
re-repeatedly re-re-repeating,
re-re-repeatedly re-re-re-repeating . . .

I, to say only truth, wasted college studying financial investment opportunity philosophies.

It has to make some kind of sense, otherwise there would be no point.  But I'll leave gramatical correctness somewhat open, as it is possible to write something which said in the correct way sounds ok, but is not really gramatically correct.

(Here's one I started but can't finish satisfactorily - I think the & for "and" is a fudge...)

"I am the only known person equally complete & imperfect"

If you think it doesn't make sense, think of it as a zen thing.

We may have to get someone to update that page after this question is graded.

he put the longest word at the end... so in theory if you could work up to that word from 1 that would be the longest word possible, anyone ready to go to 45?  Have fun.

Is anyone checking these words to see if they really make sense?

My favorite;
colposinquanonia - ( KAHL-puh-SIN-kwah-NOH-nee-uh )
 Estimating a woman's beauty based on her chest

OT:

That's a very interesting word... anyone know where it comes from?  It looks like it's derived from Greek kolpos (vagina/womb) latinised and Latin sine qua non (without which nothing), so meaning the viewing (of women) as nothing but sexual objects.  I find it interesting that a word nobody's heard of has gained a meaning different to its actual derivation.

Thanks,
    Mark

Don't know, that is curious.   I guess you are saying that the definition should be;
"estimating a woman's beauty based on her vagina"

It appears to have originated in medical terminology.  But you are correct, colpo is from Greek kolpos, which is a fold, cleft or hollow, usually refering to the vagina.  Colpo- is used a lot in medical terminology, but it always refers to the vagina.  So you pose a good question.  Maybe it was a medical term that has been bastardized or more likley made up by a modern social psychologist.  I'll research a little more.

Here are a number of colpo- words.

Hah, I typed likley.  Freudian slip.

I have a new favorite word ;)

Ok, I think it's time to render a judgment on this one.

While I did say that the longest one would win, I feel there should be a good flow to the sentence created, as well as something useful learnt.  So, therefore I award the points to 8_digits for his incisive commentary on COBOL coming in at a total length of 23 words. ecims' weighs in at 34 before his gap, but after the first 18 or so words it starts to fall apart and doesn't really connect.

Honorable mention goes to jpkemp's wonderful zen-like statement.

"I am the only known person equally complete & imperfect"

I'll have to write that down somewhere and use it from time to time :)

FYI:  The longest I could come up with when I originally posed this question was about 7.  I'm very impressed by the number of good answers I received that surpassed that by a good margin.

"I am sad."

My recursive submission was infinitely long.

Not that I'm whining.

I'm just crying softly to myself with extreme subinelligibility.
