Awesome! Thank you and Arthur. Got the idea. And I tried the version
given by Arthur, which works like a charm. The following is the result
given by the code:

"correspond with someone about someone or something correspond with
someone about someone or something"

The above result is exactly the same as the one returned by the
following UNIX command:

$ awk '{print length($0),$0}'
Public/repo/github.com/hongyi-zhao/english-wordlist.git/american-english-exhaustive
| \
   sort -k1n | tail -1
101 correspond with someone about someone or something correspond with
someone about someone or something
