전문 강사Hi guys, I thought I'd share three mysterious facts about the English language with the you.
I found these points in Rochelle Ceirahi's artical "10 interesting facts about the English Language that you didn't know".
It's on Grammarly of all places. I highly recommend you use grammarly if you do any writing in English.
Without further ado, here they are. Enjoy!
Did you know that enneacontakaienneagon is actually a word in the English language? (And you thought pronouncing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was difficult?). In fact, the meaning of the word is just as bizarre as the word itself: it’s a shape with ninety-nine sides.
Compared to other languages, English may seem simple, but that is probably because most people don’t realize it is full of crazy inventions, misinterpretations, mistakes, strange words, and needless words!
Let’s take a look at ten interesting facts about the English language:
1 “I am” is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
2 A pangram sentence is one that contains every letter in the language.
 For example, the sentence “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” is a pangram.
3 Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (*breath*) is NOT the longest word in English.
 This extra long word (that approximately means “fantastic”) was popularized by the movie Mary Poppins and was eventually added to the dictionary. What you probably didn’t know is that there is a word that is longer—yes longer—than this one. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a type of lung disease caused by inhaling ash and dust. Go ahead and try pronouncing that!
