Word Knowledge
- Did you know that angst is the shortest word in the English language with 5 consonants in a row? It means a feeling of anxiety or insecurity.
- Did you know that facetious and abstemious are the only two words in the English language with all 5 vowels in their proper order? Facetious means joking when inappropriate. Abstemious means exercising restraint especially when it comes to food & alcohol. I can use it in a sentence too: "I need to be abstemious regardless of how good this steak looks!" LOL
- Did you know that there are only 1,000 words that make up 90% of common speech, yet the Second Edition of the Oxford Dictionary has 171,476 words that are currently in use and 47,156 words that are obsolete!
