tiger88 934 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I heard on a radio show one day that there are four words in the english language that have 2 consecutive u's in the spelling. I thought of vacuum and continuum, but drew a blank after that. Never got to hear the answers. Anyone....Anyone..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I found "duumvirate" (think triumvirate, but only 2 instead of 3) and "menstruum", which is another word for solvent (I'm going to quit right there with that one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
