Lets us learn nd enjoy funny world of English.

Here is an interesting sentence : ' I do not know where
family docters acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting '. Do you see anything special about this sentence ?
Read each word and count the number of letters. You will see the number of each word increases by
one letter : I - 1 , do - 2 , ... Such sentence is known as rhopalic.

Once a friend asked , " Can you tell me a sentence that contains three 'because's' continuously ?"
My answer was in the negative.

He said "You cannot end a sentence with because , because
because is a conjuction."

'We were cheery when he slew the enemy we met
helplessly'.
You may easily find the characteristic of this sentence.
It uses only one of the five vowels - e.
Such a sentence is known as 'univocalic'.

You are familiar with the word 'therein' .
Do you know that it is a curious word ?.
It contains eleven other words.
You can find them without changing the order
of even a single letter : the , there , he , her , here ,
ere , re , rein , I , in .

You know that the vowels in English are - a , e, i , o , u .
Words are usually born when vowels combine with consonants. The following words contain the
vowels in alphabetical order :

abstemious = careful to avoid too much eating and drinking

caesious = bluish or greyish green

facetious = using unsuitable jokes



HAVE HAPPY READING. 😊
