Triskaidekaphobia !

What a long weird english word ! Have you seen it before ? The only clue we have to guess its meaning is its suffix -phobia,isn't it ? Everybody knows that phobia means fear of something. You probably remember the words : claustrophobia, homophobia,acrophobia ,agoraphobia,don't you ? How about nomophobia ? It has been used a lot due to our dependance on cell phones.

Jay Fidell from The Honolulu Star Adviser on 24 December 2013 commented :"The more powerful cell phones get,the more we use and depend on them,and the more compulsive and nomophobic we become "
