INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Did you know....

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, purple.


There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.


"Underground" is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters "und".  

The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.  

  And that's all for now.
THANK YOU ALL!
