Introduction
The English language is full of
surprises and curiosities that
many people are unaware of.
In this presentation,we will
explore some of the most
fascinating and unusual
aspects of the language that
is spoken by over 1.5 billion
people worldwide.
The Most Common Letter
E is the most common letter in
the English language,
appearing in roughly 11% of all
words.It's also the most
commonly used vowel and the
second most commonly used
letter
,after T.
The Least Common Letter
The least common letter in
the English language is the
letter “ Z." It is used less
frequently compared to other
letters in the English
alphabet.
Crutch words
Crutch word is name for words
that we repeat often in
sentence even though they
add no meaning. “literally”,
“like”, “basically” etc.
-> “Then I was like , omg,
then like , he went there ,
and like… ” in this sentence
“like” is crutch word.
English Alphabet
The English alphabet we know
today has 26 letters. However,
earlier variations included 29
letters and more.
->letters like ‘ash’ (æ) and
‘ethel’ œ were dropped.
A B C D E F G H I
K L M N O P Q R
S T V X Y Z
& ⁊ Ƿ Þ Ð Æ
Words with No Rhyme
Did you know that orange,
silver,and month are just a
few examples of words in
the English language that
have no perfect rhyme.
-> Despite being used
frequently,these words have
stumped poets and
songwriters for centuries.
Language Of The Air
This means that all pilots have
to identify themselves and
speak in English while flying ,
regardless of their origin.
Pangram Sentence`
The least common letter in
the English language is the let
A pangram sentence is one
that contains every letter in
the English languages.
-> “THE QUICK BROWN FOX
JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG”
IS PANGRAM.
Never used word
“Overmorrow” was never
used.
-> “Overmorrow” is a word in
the English language for “Day
after tomorrow”.
The Oldest sentence
The word "I" is the oldest word
in the English language, as
well as the shortest and most
frequently used.
->The shortest grammatically
correct sentence in English is
"I am".
Last Alphabet added Was J
You would think Z would be
the last letter to be added to
the alphabets in English. But
in fact, the last alphabet
added in the English Language
was the letter J.
Ghost words
There are some words that appeared
in the dictionary because of printing
errors. The nonexistent word “dord”
appeared in the dictionary for eight
years in the mid-20th century. It
became known as a “ghost word.”
-> “Ghost words” mean nothing
Nice is not nice
The word nice was originally used for
describing something foolish, stupid
or senseless.
“ambigram” word
An “ambigram” is a word or
words which can be read in
more than one direction,
either the word reads the
same or will have a
completely different meaning.
The English language is truly a fascinating and
endlessly surprising subject. From words with no
rhyme to the longest word in the language, there is
always something new and unusual to discover. We
hope you enjoyed this presentation and have learned
something new about the curiosities of the English
language.
Conclusion
Thanks
