I was asked a question today which was

How many words are there with all 5 vowels that appear in order
Apparently there's more than 1 and I can only think of FACETIOUS.

Any ideas?

Good one, Aristo.

The list didn't have the second.

I assume you meant the "y" as a quasi-vowel.

Well, I was Syzzie but all hell just broke loose behind my house, police vans, Ambulance and the police helicopter. some guys have just battered someone with bats and then disappeared. I heard it through my kitchen window while I was making a cup of tea. The lad has been taken away in the ambulance, he looked pretty badly beaten but he was answering the paramedics, so hopefully he will be Ok.
Anyway, yes there are quite a lot of words that fit the bill, most of them on the link are quite rare words though.
Morning aristo, hope your fine
