Jeopardy told me that the second longest word in the english language, other than chemical names, was disestablishmentarianism. Or I guess, Jeopardy 'asked' me. and the longest?

antidisestablishmentarianism.

was Jeopardy wrong?

Yes. In 1992, floccinaucinihilipilification replaced antidisestablishmentarianism as the official longest word in the English language, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. But pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is longer. However, it's a medical term for a disease that no one has ever had, so it's not officially recognized. Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is also not officially recognized as a word.

The longest word in the world is supposedly infinite, it is from sweden, where they can string together words into one long one.

The longest one that someone came up with was over 1000 letters long and could have had additions.

The same goes for the German language, they can string together infinite words.
