Stewardesses is the longest word typed with only the left hand

Lollipop is the longest word typed with your right hand..

No word in the English language rhymes with month,orange, silver or purple.

Dreamt is the only English word that ends in the letters mt.

The words racecar,kayak,and level are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes)

There are only four words in the English language which end in douse, : horrendous,tremendous, and hazardous and stupendous.

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order : abstemious and factious.

The word SWIMS still reads SWIMS if read upside down. Love word play games.

Sorry Paul, that's what's know as a half rhyme...but I can see where you're coming from. That's the teacher in me coming out again I'm sorry to say!

The dot over the letter ' i ' is called a tittle.

That's interesting Marjorie :)

Chiller doesn't rhyme with silver Paul. It ends in 'iller' and rhymes with other words ending in 'iller' e.g. filler, killer etc :)

I wonder if Paul meant CHILVER ... an Old English word for a newborn ewe lamb.
