I knew just where to look.  From Fun With Words, a website I stumbled upon and used as a source for a trivia post myself a couple of years ago: quote: Dermatoglyphics, misconjugatedly, and uncopyrightable, each fifteen letters long, are the longest English words in which no letter appears more than once.
Fourteen letter words with this property are ambidextrously, benzhydroxamic, hydromagnetics, hydropneumatic, pseudomythical, schizotrypanum, sulphogermanic, troublemakings, undiscoverably, and vesiculography.

Indeed, 'misconjugate' is not in my Webster's 3rd Int'l Unabridged, either, nor at Dictonary.com. My link doesn't give its source(s). However it has probably appeared in some dictionary somewhere. Certainly you can't keep glomming on prefixes and suffixes ad lib and still call it an English word, even if it seems to make sense -- unless it appears in a dictionary.
