  • 5-14-2017 Well, that's how you teach kids to read. You stumble over the bedtime story, saying "O-O-O" and the kid says "Once upon a time!"
    • Linda Joy
      Its been a long time since I read a child a bedtime story! I miss it.
    • mushroom
      All the long way to school And all the way back, I've looked and I've looked And I've kept careful track. But all that I've noticed, Except my own feet Was a horse and a wagon on Mulberry Street. There. No child required (though it helps).
  • No - I can't say that I've ever wondered that.
    • Linda Joy
      What about now did you wonder it after you saw my question?
    • Anoname
      No - I can't say your question made me wonder about it either.

      You'd think the AB staff would've seen us asking for one and made the category by now.

      But then it wouldn't be one. I like Boola Boo's answer. Did you see it? Its up 6 answers.
  • Never gave it a thought. I guess that's a ponder time. Lo. 😄
  • William Tyndale's translation of the Bible spells it "won." But, there are a lot of weird spellings in that translation, because it was written about 400 years before spelling in English was standardized. In fact, words were often spelled two or even three different ways in the same passages. For example, the opening passage of the Gospel of John, or "The Gospell off Sancta Jhon" - "In the begynnynge was that worde and that worde was with god and god was thatt worde. The same was in the begynnynge wyth god."
  • But there is, "won". The spelling difference is to make the 2 words distinguishable when writing "not righting" them.
    • mushroom
      To throw a monkey wrench into that, take a look at various homographs. Lead can be a verb "to guide" or a noun "a heavy metal." Bow can be "to bend at the waist" or "the front of a boat" or my favorite xiao long bao ;)
    • dalcocono
      Yup, the teachers used to say "there is an exception for every rule" when they were teaching us English in school. Like "I before E except after C" etc.
  • lol yeah its crazy
  • Considering the education level of a lot of millennials, I can't say that there isn't. If they can butcher "two" ("to", "too"), they've probably already done a number on "one". ("number" - I made a funny...😆)
  • Do you wonder why there is no "U" in wun?
