Know any fun facts about English? Curious tidbits about language?
Here's a few:
--> The words with the most definitions: set (464 defs)
--> The word(s) with the most consecutive double-letters: bookkeeper, bookkeeping
--> And of course, everyone's favorite super-long word: antidisestablishmentarianism (this one is fun to say at speed)
The thing I love about that last word is how most of it is made up of prefixes and suffixes.
How about more? What language oddities have you come across?
