April 23rd is celebrated as English Language Day, commemorating the birth and death of William Shakespeare. The English language is characterized by interesting features, such as the prevalence of the letter ‘E’ as the most common vowel and ‘R’ as the most frequently used consonant. William Shakespeare is credited with introducing numerous words into the English lexicon, including ‘alligator,’ ‘manager,’ and ‘lonely.’ ‘Crutch words’ are commonly used to fill pauses or aid in sentence formation. The phrase ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ serves as a popular example of a pangram, featuring all 26 letters of the alphabet. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a type of lung disease, holds the distinction as the longest English word at 45 letters. While ‘set’ is recognized by Guinness World Records as having the most meanings with 430 senses, philologists consider ‘run’ to have an astounding 645 variations in its verb form.
