Think about these English words... so interesting..
- Why is abbreviation such a long word?
- sesquipedalian means the overuse of long words!
- noses run while feet smell
- verb is actually a noun!
- Why is it that a man with hair on his head has more hair than a man with hairs on his head??
- rearrange the letters in funeral.... it becomes real fun... same thing happens to silent and listen!
- have a thought to these words: unexpected surprise, free gift, advance warning, frozen ice, empty space, end result, past experience, rough estimate, actual facts, multiple choice.... and lots more!
More can be found from Teresa Monachino's Words Fail Me, a very interesting book!!
