[net.nlang] Four in a row

princeton!levy has asked for English words having four letters in
alphabetical order.  I remember "gymnoplast" from a biology course years
ago.  Checking my unabridged dictionary I also found "gymnopaedia" (or
"gymnopedia") and "gymnophiona."

As I recall, a euglena is a gymnoplast, or at least exhibits gymnoplasty.

"Chimps" and "almost" each are entirely in alphebetical order...
