There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.
(You're not doubting this are you?)

 There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.'
(Yes, admit it, you are going to say, a e i o u)
 
TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. 
(All you typists are going to test this out)
