First, let me say this is simply awesome.

I can't help but note some mildly humorous points; which
should not be taken to denigrate or floccinaucinihilipilificate
the value of this wonderful offer...

They have classified Devil's Dictionary (by Ambrose Bierce)
under "Language". I am sure it is a common slip up. I know
for a fact a library I ran for a spell,  had prior to me put
Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland in the non-fiction section under
mathematical science.

As a more personal note, there is a very quirky synchronism
at play, as I just noted this morning that moored in the
harbor outside my window, is a cargo ship which appears
to be bringing coal for the power plant there. The name of the
ship:

P. S. I wonder if somebody who worked on my spell-checker
has a sense of humor... doing the spell check, it made the
suggestion that "floccinaucinihilipilificate" should be
replaced with "antidisestablishmentarianism". Oh well,
sesquipedalian is as sesquipedalian does.
