English Language FAQ

Those who enjoy the English language, will probably find the FAQ over at the Oxford dictionary site, quite the place to get lost in. The FAQ is a database of questions that have been sent to the Oxford Word and Language Service team. Delving into the FAQ, you'll find answers to some typically asked questions, such as:

• What is the longest English word? (Clue ... the name of my site is up there.)
• Are there any words that rhyme with orange? (Nope.)
• What comes after once, twice, thrice? (Ooops!)
• What is the feminine equivalent of a misogynist? (There is one.)
• If palindromes are words which are the same spelt backwards, what is the word for a word which is another word spelt backwards? ('rats live on no evil star')
