In answer to Richard Harker's short
message in the last issue, I would
like to submit the following entries
for the longest-word-from-the-top-row-
of-the-keyboard-challenge (English):-
priority (8)
property (8)
etiquette (9)
pirouette (9)
puppeteer (9)
territory (9)
perpetuity (10)
proprietor (10)
Afraid I couldn't do better than five-
letter words (unless you count salads
which cheats by using a plural) from
the middle row.
Entries are now invited for the
longest-word-from-the-bottom-row-of-
the-keyboard-challenge (any language)
The longest-word-from-the-dictionary-
using-all-three-rows-challenge-winner
is ... deep breath now ... go for it
floccinaucinihilipilification
which means ' the act of estimating as
worthless ' which seems singularly
appropriate to this message!
By the way, abstemious and facetious
use all five vowels, once only, and in
the correct alphabetical order!
You may not have known that, but don't
you feel more complete as a person now
that you do?
