9 More Things You Didn't Know About the English Language

Gear up, nerds! English is a strange and unfathomable form of communication. Here are some more useless and fascinating facts about it.

• "uncopyrightable" is the longest word in common usage that contains no letter more than once. 
• A sentence that has all 26 letters of the alphabet in it is called a "pangram." Here's an example: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Why is there even a word for that, seriously? 
• We can find 10 words in the 7-letter word "therein" without rearranging any of its letters: the, there, he, in, rein, her, here, ere, therein, herein.
• The longest word with only one vowel is "strengths."
• The longest one-syllable word is "screeched." 
• There are no real English words that rhyme with any of the following: month, silver, angel, orange, and bulb. Beware, couplet writers!
• It's generally agreed that "the sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is English's toughest tongue twister. Good thing I don't know many sick sheiks or sixth sheeps. 
• The words "silent" and "listen" contain all the same letters. 
• There used to be a word in the dictionary without a meaning. The word was "Dord" and it got there because of an error. I love it. That poor word. We should give it a meaning and get it back into the dictionary!
