Stewardesses is the longest word in the english language typed only with the left hand, but what word is it using only the right hand?

Chad: Wasn't sure which category to put this under, but since it is computer keyboard related I thought it might fit there best. :P

A Google search got me a lot of different answers, but the only one that made sense to me was "monophony".

Monophony, eh? Hmm, that'll do. Thanks. :)

Haha, it was really bugging me. -_-

Wow I LOVE this question. I always play around sometimes when I'm typing and bored to see which word I can write longest only using one hand. You've fed my addiction!

You're very welcome Bobbo. Actually at my school during the morning announcements my Principal gives all of the events that happened on this day in the past, and then a funfact at the end of it. Today's was this, and I began to wonder. I couldn't get one as long as monophony using only my right hand though. >_<

I just like that I can spell "bobbo" with one hand XD. Cheers Chad!

Actually, according to this site:
http://toxicsoftware.com/one_handed_dictionary/

The longest left-hand word is AFTERCATARACT and
The longest right-hand word is PHYLLOPHYLLIN

Interesting. I haven't every heard of those words though, maybe excluding medical terms? However, on that site it also mentioned Tesseradecade, which isn't a medical term but just means a group of 14. I'll have to mention it to my principal if I ever catch him in the hall. :D

This depends on how you type.
A lot of the time I only type with one hand, so any word really.
