Broken doesn’t have a c.
Weird doesn’t follow the i before e rule.
I did already know this but whenever I’m marking children’s work (I’m a trainee primary school teacher) I seem to forget how to spell certain words and sometimes correct their spellings wrongly 😅🤦‍♀️.

i always remember weird doesn't follow the "i before e" rule, because a teacher when I was at school taught us to remember that "weird is a weird word!" and it always stuck with me! 🤣

What jumping the shark means. It's a phrase that seems to be quite new, or certainly I've never been aware of it. Yet supposidly it stems from a scene in Happy Days which I used to watch. The explanation relating to that makes miles more sense than any more recent attempts.

Today I learned that sweat is actually odourless and it’s bacteria on your body that causes a weird smell not sweat 😂🤮

And grass “cries” when it’s being cut but again, humans can’t hear it (I wonder if dogs or other mammals with superior hearing react in a certain way when grass is cut?? Maybe some pet owners on here could do a test!)

Can’t remember if I mentioned it on this thread or elsewhere, but the girl from Matilda and Mrs Doubtfire is cousins with right wing pundit Ben Shapiro and she outspokenly hates him.

Eunice Huthart is Shiloh Jolie Pitts godmother .
I knew she played Angelina Jolie’s stunt double in a film but didn’t know she was Shiloh’s godmother. Angelina must have been/be close to her then. (For those who don’t know, Eunice was a contestant on the Uk version of the Gladiators in the 90s and won her series, and then later became a Gladiator herself)

I love Mara Wilson. She’s good fun on Instagram.

I remember that gladiator being on gladiators! I had no idea she was still stunting. I think she’d just finished the James Bond film when she first appeared on the show. She was amazing. Now I feel old 😭
