Hey guys!
Today I´m gonna talk about some curiosities in the English
language. Maybe you are just like me, someone who likes to search stuff online. After thinking about this subject I started to take a look on internet to see if I could find something new. As a matter of fact, there´s always plenty of information everywhere, it´s just a question of being interested in. Let´s see then!
1-“I am” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. ( But please, don´t write this one when your teacher asks you to make sentences, alright? );-)
2-A pangram sentence is one that contains every letter in
the language. For example: The quick
brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. ( Are you looking for all the letters?) ;-)
3-Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (*breath*) is NOT the
longest word in English but it´s one of them. ( If you find the biggest, please
leave a comment)
4- The shortest, oldest, and most commonly used word is “I.”
5- A new word is added to the dictionary every two hours.
6- Swims will be swims even when
turned upside down. (Such words are called ambigrams.)
7-English is the language of the
air. (This means that all pilots have to identify themselves and speak in
English while flying, regardless of their origin.)
Well, I´m gonna search for more curiosities and I´ll post soon or later, I hope you enjoyed reading this. If you have a curiosity to share, feel free to leave a comment here or on facebook.
See you!
