I've Always Been Amazed By The Construction Of The Word "Strength"...

[bayoubill]

only one syllable...

and yet

six different consonant sounds.


Can you think of any word that even comes close?

[bayoubill]

well...

I thought it was interesting...

[melinda]

I thought it was interesting too, bill ... and I actually counted out the letters and the sounds.
I was gonna make a comment about a word I find interesting, but my word is not similar to "strength" ... the word I've always loved is facetious. having all five vowels, only once each, and in order.

another word I love is "juxtapose" but only b/c it's fun to say. :))

That's pretty cool about "facecious", Mel... :)


Regarding "strength" once again...

another other amazing thing about it is that,

even though it's made up of all those different consonant sounds,

and only one vowel,

it rolls off the tongue when you say it...

Dreamt is the only English word ending in "mt".

Dreamt is the only English word ending in "mt".


But nobody with any class would use that word. By doing so they'd be putting Dreamy in the past tense and that's simply unacceptable. :snooty:

There are others too. Abstemious is one with all 5 vowels in sequence.

I like s words. I like m words. lol

[ALBOB2]

I like b words. (But anyone who didn't already know that has been living under a rock for the past five years. :rolleyes: )

Secretary is the longest word in the English language that can be typed with one hand using conventional typing technique and on a standard QWERTY keyboard.

But Rayman you're here:D I like "thinking" threads and game threads. Too many chat threads get boring in my opinion.

Back to the always stimulating Lodge for you darling. :))
