• As many commuters travel into New York City every workday as live in the city of Calgary.
• Türkiye has the highest consumption of tea per capita, even more than Ireland and the UK.
• You’ve never actually heard the Monster Mash, you’ve just heard a song talking about it.
• The plural of cul-de-sac is culs-de-sac.
• Mick Jones, the founder of Foreigner, once worked with Gary Wright, Peter Frampton and George Harrison.
• The word "ghetto" originally comes from the Italian word "ghèto" which means "slag" in Venetian, referring to a foundry where slag was deposited during metal casting. It was first used in Venice in the early 16th century to describe the area where Jews were compelled to live. The word reflects the area's prior use before it became a Jewish quarter. The term "ghetto" has evolved and is now used more broadly to describe any urban area primarily inhabited by a specific ethnic or economic group, often characterized by poverty, discrimination, and social isolation. The use of the term encompasses various minority groups confined to specific areas due to social, legal, or economic pressures.
