Another Monday and I am waiting to hear if we are going into temporary accommodation, so they can work on the ceiling. Anyway here are this weeks facts.
In the 1940's the name of the Bich pen was changed to Bic for fear the Americans would pronounce it “Bitch”
The word “MAFIA” stands for “Morte Alla Francia Italia Anela” oor “Death to the French is Italy's cry”
More people speak English in China than in the U S A
No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver and purple.
Professional ballerinas can go through a dozen pairs of dancing shoes a week.
We would definitely pronounce it bitch. Yurple rhymes with purple.
