Hi All

Gabriele you wrote:

"Another piece of trivia: did you know that
"facetiously" is probably
the
only word (and certainly the shortest) in the English
language that
contains
all vowels, including the "y", once each in alphabetic
order?!"

don't forget abstemiously - not quite as short, but
also fitting the criteria - another piece of trivia -
they're the only two words in English

Also on another aside as a bit of a puzzle for people
- there are only two words in English ending in
'shion' - can anyone think what they are?

Also can anyone think of a word rhyming with orange?

Just to get you thinking... :)
