Cheer of the Day - 13

Words - The following information is checked and confirmed by reliable sources.

Did you know?

1. It’s fascinating to know that the word ‘she’ didn't exist before around 10^th century. It was approximately in the 12^th century that it began to take form. The word ‘she’ probably derived from the old versions of ‘that one’ words like ‘seo’ or ‘hio’. It's not certain if anyone surely knows where the etymology came from. I think it’s funny to imagine English language without the usage of the most feminine word though.

2. The modern Hawaiian alphabet has only 13 letters. Have you heard of any Hawaiian writers? Me neither.

3. "Therein" contains ten words without rearranging any of the letters: there, in, the, he, her, here, ere, therein, herein, rein.

4. The sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the English language!

5. I came across this the other day when chatting to a friend – if you examine all the continent names, there’s something odd about their first & last letters.
