'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand in the normal
english Computer keyboard.
And 'lollipop' is the longest word typed with your right hand on your keyboard.
'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'!
The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of
the alphabet. (your checking this right?)
The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). ( I bet your checking this mentaly)
There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: 'abstemious' and 'facetious.' (I bet you are mentaly checking these out!)
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?) Weird Facts...
Now this is just plain random but sometimes fascinating...
