It’s also a little known fact that Cleveland’s full name is “The Depopulated New American City Surveyed by Moses Cleveland on America’s North Coast of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Corporate Flight.”ġ4. Los Angeles’s full name is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reinade los Angeles de Porciuncula” and can be abbreviated to 3.63% of its size, “L.A.” More sloppy research: it’s a town in eastern Germany called “Friedrichswusterhavellandischersaechsischererzgebirgischer-oberniederfreiburghaven-unter-den-eichen-an-der-Oder.” (The town used to be called “Glopp,” but changed the name to discourage out-of-towners from asking directions.)ġ3.

The dot over the letter ‘I’ is called a tittle.Īlternatively, when you tell on somebody, but it’s only a small offense, that's “tittling.” “Enter your six-number password, followed by the octothorpe key.”ĥ. The symbol on the “pound” key (#) is called an octothorpe. Wrong again: also “verklemmt” and “bemt” (as in “Get bemt”).Ĥ. "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt" The longest one-syllable word in the English language is “screeched.”Ģ.
