- the oldest word in the English language is "town".

-"invisibility" is the only word in the English language which has one vowel, but this vowel occurs  five times.

- "uncopyrightable" is the only English word that has 15 letters and that can be spelt without repeating a single one.

- "bookkeeper" is the only English word with three consecutive repeated letters.

- the word "typewriter" is the longest word you can write in English by only using the  keys on the    same row of your keyboard.

- "skiing" is the only English word with double  "i".

- "dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".
