I have to send answers?

This is ageism at it's very worst.

Question 4: Verbosity, darling
I love a good word, me. Not a long one; a good one. Eleven of my favourite are:


7.   Abstemious (one of two words to have AEIOU in that order)

Facetious is the other. Excellent piece of trivvers.

Only two London Underground stations feature all five vowels. Can you name them?

Will get my answers in post-haste.

Someone told me this once...South Ealing and is it Mansion House (might have made that last one up? I'm not au fait with the Tube system entirely!)

Do you know where Trivia comes from?

Now you put that apostrophe in just to annoy me, didn't you..?

I actually just laughed out loud. Got some funny looks at work.

Arguably no more than usual

Cicero said that a wide range of education was essential for good rhetoric, which is broadly speaking why schools have since taught everyone a range of subjects.

Edutainment, ladies and gentlemen. We're even throwing in Classics on a Monday morning.

Sorry to burst your bubble but this well-known fact is actually a myth. There are dozens of words with the vowels in sequence. Apart from adding -ly to the above to create the adverbs, I think abstentious (+ -ly) is the only other one in common use but there are loads of other less-used ones.

[Tal]

Dozens might be pushing it, but I have just learned that there are more (beyond facetious):

The two most common ones are abstemious 'indulging only moderately in food and drink', and facetious 'treating serious issues with inappropriate humour'. Oxford Dictionaries Online also contains the chemical term arsenious 'relating to arsenic with a valency of three', while the 20-volume historical Oxford English Dictionary includes abstentious 'abstinent' as well as the rare botanical and zoological terms acheilous 'having one or both lips absent', anemious 'growing in windy situations', caesious 'bluish or greyish green', and annelidous 'belonging to the phylum Annelida'.

Don't apologise for bursting my bubble! Burst away!

I find this stuff fascinating, so the more words the better.

Tell me there's a longer word alternating consonants and vowels than taramasalata!
