Here are some more fun facts about the English language:
1) Words that can be read upside down are called ambigrams (like SWIMS).
2) A sentence that has every letter is called a panagram. (The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.)
3) If you wrote out every number (one, two, three, four, five), the first time you would use a "b" is when you reach a billion.
4) The study of bird eggs and nests is called oology, and it is the shortest word containing the ology root.
5) The most commonly used letter is e. (Remember that if you ever make it onto Wheel of Fortune!)
6) The word dord (which is called a ghost word), was a printing error with no official meaning. It appeared in the dictionary for many years before being noticed.
P.S. In the spirit of this past Wednesday being Valentine's Day, I figured you would appreciate this Kid Snippets clip. Enjoy!
