Infrequently Asked Questions

Do all English adverbs end in 'ly'?
No - many adverbs do end in 'ly' and many words that end in 'ly' are adverbs, but one does not imply the other.

Are there any English words that don't rhyme with any other English words?
Yes - popular examples include orange and purple, there are probably many others.

Can a woodchuck even chuck wood?
No - the term 'woodchuck' is something of a misnomer. This is because the word is etymologically unrelated to the English words wood and chuck. Interestingly, the woodchuck goes by a slew of misnomers including 'whistlepig' (despite not being a pig) and 'red monk' (despite displaying no obvious affinity for religion).
