I Hear the Consonant of North America is a great place for a TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today's trivia quiz is brought to you by the National Council of Teachers of English (why isn't it just the National Council of English teachers?).

What are the only two words in the English language that contain all the vowels, including "y", in alphabetical order? And no, the alphabet song word that Big Bird used to sing does NOT count! :)

Bonus points if you can even name all the vowels in the English language. Good luck!

Well, this is what google had to say on the subject:

facetiously
abstemiously
abstentiously

although technically w is kind of sort of a vowel. I don't know if there are any words with "w" in them that do that.

As a teacher of English myself (albeit in England where the equivalent organisation is the preferably named NATE, National Association of Teachers of English) I can tell you that it's teachers of English, not English teachers, because the phrase makes it clear that they teach English as a subject. "English teachers" could teach science but BE English as a nationality.
