vocabulary GENIUS !
The person who made this sentence must be a vocabulary GENIUS. Read the sentence below carefully:

intercommunications' incomprehensibleness".
This is a sentence where the nth word is n letters long Eg: 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 ,15th word is 15 letters long and so on

Some good stuff here.
The Plain English Campaign works to eradicate gobbledegook and their web site has some fascinating examples of overburdened language as below; mostly official instructions of one kind or another.

You can have a good chuckle at the examples, however, the English language, in common with many others, is a tremendous creative tool and it?s very easy to throw out the baby with the bathwater by over-simplifying the written word.
