Okay so is there an ENGLISH word that uses all of the vowels? I happen to know the longest English word that has all of the letters in alphabetical order, do you? How many words can you think of that are spelled the same forward and backwards?

When y functions as a vowel, one word would be facetiously.
No. I’d like to see what it is after more people have had a chance to answer.
After a I minute search of my cerebral files, here are some palindromic words that I know:
radar
level
madam
Palindromes:
Bob
Anna
Dad
Mom
Boob
Pop
Peep
Pip
Tit
Radar
Kayak
Rotator
Level

Abstemiously uses all vowels. in order.
The one palindrome that came to mind was the name Hannah. My sister says to include the name “Emme” (I’ve never heard of that name). There’s this thread. I love AstroChuck’s answer.
Lewd I did live, evil did I dwel.
I’ve got two all vowel words: a and I : )
hallucinate
Uses 4 of the 5 vowels.
Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious! Can’t be bothered to check if that’s the correct spelling or not…..& neither should you :¬)
My favourite palindromic sentence: Mr. Owl ate my metal worm.
@ucme I know for a fact it’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. I’m that nerdy.
The computer told me that’s wrong, and it gave me “imperialistically” as a suggestion. Huh?
@ChocolateReigns Well then I pride myself on only getting the one letter wrong. Which if i’m not mistaken implies nerdship in this direction too. A startling revelation & no mistake.
@ucme Yay another nerd :D
Really good answers! But does anyone know the answer to my second question? Do any of you know the longest word in the English language with all of the letters in alphabetical order? I do!
A quick wiki search I have found the answer too!! ! ;)
who is spilling the beans first?
“Rhythm” is the longest English word without a vowel.
“Almost” is the longest English word with all the letters in alphabetical order.
I think.
@Ultramarine_Ocean
”“Rhythm” is the longest English word without a vowel.”
Well, that can’t be quite right, because “rhythms” is longer.
”“Almost” is the longest English word with all the letters in alphabetical order.”
Biopsy, and chintz also work.
Wow! Misread the question: thought it was asking for all-vowel words not a word that uses all the vowels…
Anyway, I do know one: Uncopyrightable: uses them all, and each only once : )
I’m amazed no-one mentioned “sequoia”.
And Napoleon’s, “Able was I, ere I saw Elba.”
