Other Crap

"The English language has at least one nine-letter word that can always remain a valid word as letters are removed one at a time."

• CLARIFICATION: I spent a lot of time on this before I realized I had misunderstood the objective. I thought the letters had to be removed in order from the end of the word! The letter may be removed from any part of the word, but the remaining letters may not be re-ordered. Thus, "boring" may become "bring," and so forth.
