How Do You Spell SOBERMINDEDNESSES?
Pronunciation: [sˈə͡ʊbəmˌa͡ɪndɪdnəsɪz] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "sobermindednesses" can be a bit perplexing. The first part, "soberminded," indicates a serious, rational attitude. The -ness ending forms a noun from an adjective, indicating a trait or state of being. However, with the addition of the -es ending, the word becomes plural. The pronunciation is /ˈsoʊ.bərˈmaɪn.dɪd.nɪs.ɪz/. This tongue-twister of a word may not come up in everyday conversation, but it demonstrates the complexity and flexibility of the English language.
