Rabish Bini Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Well, strength is the longest in the dictionary, but the longest is psychorythms, so both are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin Skywalker Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 You kidding... right? No... I'm not kidding... a y is a vowel... sometimes... and in this case, it appears to be a vowel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 It functions as a vowel, but is not one of the commonly accepted set of 5. So the word does indeed contain only one vowel, since 'y' is merely acting as a vowel and is not actually one. Though I'm tempted to disqualify you all, since the word is spelled "psychorhythms" and none of you were perceptive enough to catch the misspelling. That aside, I think 'strengths' is the better choice for longest one-vowel word, since it is commonly used, in the dictionary, and has no usage-related ambiguities like "psychorhythms" does.

Now, now, you american (or any other english-speaking people) guys really even think about considering "Y", a (or "an", I dunno) vowel!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, now, you american (or any other english-speaking people) guys really even think about considering "Y", a (or "an", I dunno) vowel!? Well of course y is a vowel... how could it not be? Like in my real name... the letter y is a vowel... it makes the e sound... My last question still stands I live, but I do not breathe... I sleep most of the time and am active during winter.
