I guess you had to read it once more just like I did.
Reportedly, the sentence is from Dmitri Borgmann’s book ‘Language on Vacation: An Olio of Orthographical Oddities’. It is an example of a rhopalic sentence, where each word contains one letter, or one syllable, more than the previous word. The 20th word “incomprehensibleness” is 20 letters long which might make this sentence the longest rhopalic one.
