Did you know ?

Strange but true…
Not a lot of people know that:

In English, the most commonly used letter of the alphabet is e.
The letter used most frequently at the end of words is also
e.
The letter used most frequently at the beginning of words is
s.
The most common pairing of letters in English words is
er.
The longest word in the English language is
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, which is a medical condition caused by volcanic dust.




There are many different versions of English around the world: British English, Scottish English, Irish English, American English, Canadian English, English of the Caribbean, English in Africa, English in Asia, Creoles and Pidgins, and Australian English are just a few.
Although the English alphabet has only 26 letters, the English language has around 44 sounds. These 26 letters are used to represent the 44 sounds in more than 650 different ways.

The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet!
The only word in the English language that has four sets of double letters in row is balloonneer.
