Do you know everything?

SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING?       "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right.         No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.          "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".  (Are you doubting this?)               Our eyes are always the same size from birth,   but our nose and ears never stop growing       The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)       The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.)     There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious."
