A word is a unit of language that carries meaning and consists of one or more morphemes which are linked more or less tightly together, and has a phonetical value. Typically a word will consist of a root or stem and zero or more affixes. Words can be combined to create phrases, clauses, and sentences. A word consisting of two or more stems joined together is called a compound.
What is your favorite word?
Mine is "facetiously".
Can you guess why?
"Facetiously" contains every vowel, once each, in order. I found that myself when I was in 6th grade. I was so excited I told everyone around what I had discovered. "Facetiously" has remained my favorite word ever since.
I don't know if any other words have the vowel thing that "facetiously" does. If they do, I might be willing to switch.
