Re: Words with all the vowels

[Dawn M Sardes <dmsardes@ACSU.BUFFALO.EDU>]

Educationally speaking, my third grade teacher blew it.

Her original riddle (circa 1965) was:

(There's unquestionably one word in the English language with all the
vowels in it.)

Here's what we've come up with so far.
abstemiously (vowels in order)
ambidextrously
consequentially (not inconsequentially)
facetiously (vowels in order)
educationally
evolutionary
revolutionary
unaffectionately
unapologetically
uncomplimentary
unconversationally
unquestionably (used in the statement of Miss Bruno's original riddle)
unreasonably

And more are probably still on their way.
Oh well, I still love her anyway (even though I haven't seen her in 35
years).
