I encountered "Rousseauian" (referring to the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau) and wondered if there was another such word....

Technically speaking, there is one and only one common word in the English language that has five vowels in a row and that is: queueing. \n\n\nAll the other ones such as:\n\nEuouae (6 in this case!)\nCooeeing \nMiaoued\nMiaouing\nZoaeae\n\nare all considered graphalogically incorrect variants. \n\nAnd the list of "proper names" containing a sequence of 5 vowels in a row include:\n\nRousseauian \nAeaea or Aiaia and the related adjectives Aeaean / Aiaian.\n\nFinally, and as you mentioned, not considering "stuff" that do NOT count such as: "aaaaah", "oooooh", "ouuuuch" and so on.

That is a great topic. A person could spend a life time as a philosopher, working on that subject. Enjoy. I wish I had the time to discuss it with you.

I only use the term in sarcasm.\n\nlike this place is so bourgie.......\n\nIn the US especially the term, really doesn't fit into our class system, as it was relevant to the historical past uses.\n\nthe meaning of true wealth has changed, as have the social divide.\n\nBourgeoisie should be reserved to a ironic adjective....\n\nlike the Target is the Tar Gje

2 words buddy, John Locke. If you talk about Locke, and "The Rights of Man" you should be OK. Use Wikipedia, and look up his Second Treatise on Government.

What's ironic is that many times those equivocating hyphenations are seeking 'equality' by differentiating themselves from the whole.  I've never quite understood that paradox.\n\nI think Colin Powel answered correctly when he said, "i'm not African-American, I'm American."

HENDIADYS.\nIt is, honestly!\n\nHello,  - I've just seen Laura's answer. I confess to asking one of those calculator-style "find a word" gadgets, which gave me hendiadys as the only possibility, and then looking it up in the dictionary. If you knew the answer immediately, Laura, you deserve the points!

I took a literature class where I read novels and stories from different literary movements(Greek,Roman,Medieval,Neoclassicism,Illustration, etc)\nand it gave me a better sense of understanding of life. How we have evolved as humans through literature. I loved that class.

Hello Saphire,\nI know you are not enquiring about the word rigorous (it in itself is a first rate word)  but other words you could use in place of it are also great words:\narduous\nmeticulous\n\nConsequential is a word I like to use in place of important.\nIntuitive is another favourite.\nI like to think of common words people overuse, then find a more interesting one to replace it with.\nWords are remarkable aren't they?

lol, the guy above me said both....He practices doublethink! Well, Pagans came first and since the idea was popular then that the Christians "borrowed" it. (Has it been returned yet?)

It's so funny to me that in your first question people said there were no contradictions and asked you to name some.  When you DID name some they say it screwed up translation.  Good job.

Well, Poe was a realist... and he was the direct opposite of the transcendantalists.  His work was highly symbolic, and mostly morbid.  I dont know that he directly "challenged" them as much as he just believed in a different school of expression.

Neither of these statments is even close to being true.  If someone spoke the line you said and another changed it, the term for what the second person did would be "misquoting".  The term for what the first did would most likely be "libel".

who do you think I am?  Rainman????  no one could give you the correct definition of that word without looking it up.  I have an idea how to use it in a sentence, but I'd get the definition wrong.
