  • So, every -ist is an addict? How exactly does an addiction to vowels manifest itself? Do vowelists insist on buying game-show vowels even when a vowel is not needed to identify a word or phrase? Do vowelists suffer mercilessly when encountering languages such as Czech?

    Strč prst skrz krk

    --a Czech and Slovak tongue-twister meaning "stick a finger through the throat".

  • There are other examples of vowelless sentences in Czech and Slovak, such as prd krt skrz drn, zprv zhlt hrst zrn, meaning "a mole farted through grass, having swallowed a handful of grains"
