Longest is all about... ^_^

I just read from one of the magazine... and find-out one interesting column about words...with only 26 letters in the English alphabet, the combination to form words can get interesting, they give an examples:

• "Aegilops" - is the longest word with letters in alphabetical oerder. It means goat grass.



• "Queuing" - has the longest run of vowels.



• "Swims" - is the longest word with 180 degree symmetry.



• "Stressed & Dessertes" - are the longest words which can be reversed.



• "Esophagographers" - is the longest word wich all letters appear twice. It refers to people experienced in radio-graphic visualization of the oesophagus using a swallowed radiopaque contrast medium.



• "Strenghts" - is the longest word that has only one vowel.



• "Stewardesses" - is the longest word that can be type with the left hand.



• "Dermatologyphics" - the longest word without repeating letter. It refers to the study of skin markings & patterns on fingers, hands and feet.



• "Latchstring" - has the longest run of consonants.



• "Screeched" - is the longest one-syllable word.



• "Honorificabilitudinitatibus" - is the longest word to alternate consonants & vowels.

I don't even think about it if I'm not reading... ^_^...
