random foods for thought re: English

Why is it that monosyllabic is more than one syllable?  And along the same lines, why is the word that means fear of long words, hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, so doggone long?  Why does 'lisp' have an 's' in it?

I awoke from the coma in a strange world.  I awoke from last night's rest in a strange world.  And it'll be even stranger tomorrow.  Looking forward to it.

Captain Jack Kidd
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
