Slog - Comments on I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/i_always_feel_like_somebodys_watching_me Currently hanging above Pike... Spotted by our magical bookkeeper Renee. Also, are there any other words in the English language that have three consecutive pairs of letters like the word bookkeeper does? I can't think of any. Then again, I suck at Scrabble....

People say that more than one might think.

"Committee" has just one intervening bastard i. If you google it, you get a lot of crap non-words and hyphenated portmanteaus like "hoof-footed" and "soonnee" (yeah, right). One jokester proposed "raccoonnookkeeper" which has SIX consecutive pairs.

#9, "AARRGHH" is a valid SOWPODS word. I'm pretty sure it means what you think it means.

There was totally an Encyclopedia Brown mystery that involved this exact question, and there is one other word but I can't remember what it was!
