Hexspeak
What's the longest word you can get purely by misusing hexadecimal?
My record is colibacillosis (c071bac1770515), 14 letters.
I'm using abcdef verbatim, with o=0, i=1, s=5, l=7. If you allow g=9, you can do one better (15 letters), with biosociological/ecclesiological/sociobiological and you can also get the 14 letter word fossilological, but that's a bit harder to read.
Can anyone beat that?
