Three vowels together
-
I just wrote an email with the word "unforeseeable", and was struck by the "eea". That's all folks. :) Marc
How about 4? I'm sure there is a "queue" of people who would love to see something like that occur. It doesn't even use prefixes or suffixes to do it. :laugh:
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

You don't have to take that you know. Just cause it's a vowel doesn't mean you can't hit it back.

Do you ever feel like a dinosaur? If so, and you're a bit elastic, you could always be archaeoaeolotropic.

I was originally going to go with "queueing", but spell check revealed that it is correctly spelled "queuing" :sigh: But the most interesting English word that I've come across is cwm[^], which doesn't have ANY vowels (not even the "sometimes Y"). Granted that it was originally Welsh, but that's about as close to a native English word as you could get.

Nice. How about: Abstemious and facetious ( both of these words have their vowels in alphabetical order )...

How about a word with two consecutive V's? Only someone really savvy with linguistics would know.

nope, can't do it. but, finding long words with only one vowel is one of my strengths.

How about the Old English word hareiously* if you want to include 'y' as a vowel? * def.: In a cruel or merciless manner; Actions performed without mercy. From the Old English circa 15th century, hareiously has lost its function in the modern English language.

Please tell me that you looked that word up because otherwise I'll KNOW that you were an English Literature major at your university, probably a Professor in disguise... Not that there's anything wrong with that really, being a Jedi Master requires a certain level of eloquence
