Fun fact: the word “short” is longer than the word “long”

@inawhile

@LemonShot how messed up was your mind when you wrote this??

@ChaosInHeaven
Don't really know.
I saw this comment on a blog post, So thought I should share it here. LOL

wow

Another curiosity: "Brooklyn bridge" is longer than "your mom".

Similar fun fact: it takes longer to say "www" than "world wide web"

@LemonShot @Ezard on both accounts not in my language. Which is quite unique as generally stuff is about a fourth longer than in English:

Nederlands is vergeleken met Engels langdradiger.
Dutch is compared to English long-winded.

This isn't even a fun fact

And three has more letters and four and five

@KennyTheBard Three is as large as seven and eight, one smaller than eleven, and larger than four, five, six, nine, and ten.

For another irrational quirk, all odd numbers include “e” — and e is both shorter and the same length as pi.

@hjk101 short (kort) and long (lang) are just as long, that is a bit less weird but still quite.

Also yeah the Dutch pronunciation of w is much easier

@Root haha i loce your length comparison between e and pi

At least if i interpreted it correctly as the infinite constants reference

@KennyTheBard 🍻

@Root Cheers 🍻
