AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying English words that contain all five vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in the correct order, though not necessarily consecutively. Participants mention "facetiously," "sacrilegiously," and "pareciously" as examples. There is also a query about words containing five vowels consecutively, leading to mentions of "buoyant," "bayou," "joyous," and "aqueous," with some participants humorously engaging in banter about the topic. The conversation touches on the distinction between distinct and repeated vowels, with some playful exchanges about the seriousness of the responses. Overall, the thread combines linguistic exploration with light-hearted interaction.

No, I think she wanted a serious response.

Oh, wait, :rolleyes: I see - yeah, you're right - you probably shouldn't post to this thread since all your posts are made facetiously. :smile:

Did no one notice that *Kia* said 'all five vowels', or are you all just over-achievers?

The best I can think of so far are 4 vowels: buoyant (and variants), bayou, joyous, aqueous.

Sorry honestrosewater but they neither contain all five vowels, nor are the vowels in the correct order...
