Words that don't follow suit

    There are few words (in the English language) that start with a Q and do not follow with a U. An example of this would be:

    qigong - a Chinese system of physical exercises

    Here are a few questions about the English language. I find the answers interesting, I hope some of you do as well.

    *What word contains the five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in the right order?

    *What is the name for a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet?

    *There are three words in the English language that contain two u's in a row - one is vacuum, do you know what the others are?

    *What is the longest one-syllable English word?

    *What is the longest English word containing no letter more than once?

    Nici.

    I can tell you the longest one-syllable word.

    Screeched

    I think that's it. I'll have to look the other ones up!
