13. Stewardesses is the longest word typed with only the left hand...
Not the way I type - I have to use my right hand to hit Backspace ;)

Besides, what about 'devertebrated'?

Quote:
... lollipop with your right.
What about 'polyphony,' 'monophony,' and 'polyonomy'? They're longer. 'monopoly' is just as long.

Quote:
24. There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: abstemious and facetious.
What about 'annelidous'?

Quote:
17. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
'repertoire,' 'proprietor,' 'prerequire,' 'perpetuity,' are also ten letters, which means it isn't _the_ longest. If you count 'rupturewort', it isn't even one of the longest.

Quote:
25. There is a word in the English language with only one vowel, which occurs five times: indivisibility.
There's more than one: abracadabra, deepfreeze, prereference, and even one (albeit debatable) with six: degenerescence.

Quote:
32. The only 15-letter word that can be spelled without repeating is uncopyrightable.
There's another: 'dermatoglyphics'
