Honorific­abilitud­initatibus

Just plain and simply I have absolutely no idea what this word means. It is apparently the longest word in the English language although it is actually Latin... And apparently, the word was used in a Shakespeare play, which, personally, I don’t think counts as being an English word, considering he spelt half the words wrong. I don’t think anyone uses it in day to day language (probably because no one knows its meaning or can remember how to say it) so I don’t think it is fundamental to my existence (or is it? (–oh God!)). Is a double bracket allowed? Well my word processor doesn't say so, so I suppose its ok. Is “so, so” ok? Well my word processor doesn’t say so, so I suppose its ok. Had. Had “had” had had a subject and a verb it would have been a sentence, however “had” had had no subject or verb so(, so) most of the last two sentences are underlined and  that little paper clip is trying to kill itself with the mouse pointer in sheer despair of my grammatical injustice. No, that’s a lie, I don’t have that paperclip any more. I really miss him. I know everyone hated him but I thought he was cute and really quite knowledgeable, just generally a nice person, sorry: virtual, anthropomorphic program wizard. MICROSOFT...IF YOU’RE READING THIS THEN PLEASE BRING BACK THAT PAPERCLIP-GUY-THIngy, or have they? Wait a sec...no, no I just searched my computer and it wasn't there so, yeah, MICROSOFT JUST READ the thing above, YEAH? –yeah I think they got the message. God I miss that poor little guy, all out on his own in cyberspace, with that dog and that wizard and that alien who could all do tricks and stuff. DAMN YOU BILL GATES FOR BRINGING SUCH FALSE HOPE TO A WORLD OF UNEMPLOYED ANTHROPOMORPHIC SEARCH ENGINE CHARACTERS! Is this kind of murderous nostalgia for a family of computer programs healthy? I can answer that: no.
