    Random fact: The only 15 letter English word that you can spell without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable.

    Misconjulatedly is a phony word that does not appear in the dictionary. Dermatoglyphics reaches to 15 letters only by adding the plural "s".

    So, I offer the plural uncopyrightables as the longest English word without repeating letters at 16 letters.
