From BY's site:
"There are 7 Y's in GLYCYLGLYCYLGLYCYLGLYCINE, which is in DOC, and a legitimate use of which has been found on the Internet."
If I heard someone say that, I think I'd be tempted to tell them they really ought to do something about that stutter.

A legitimate chemical website goes one better: http://www.rcdc.nd.edu/compilations/Eaq/EAQ1263.HTMThis is a description of reaction rates in glycylglycylglycylglycylglycine. The structure of the amino acid glycine means this can be compounded in arbitrarily long chains. It's CH2(NH2)COOH, and the chaining lops off either an H from NH2 or an OH from the COOH, giving CH2(NH-)COOH at one end, CH2(NH2)CO+ at the other, and as many CH2(NH-)CO+ as you please between them.

Great try, but the glycine has an I and an E. These words can only have "Y" as only vowel.

> glycine has an I and an E
Ionize the molecule and you have a glycyl...glycyl ion, to whatever desired length.
