Feel Free to Ignore This Post

Here are some word-related useless facts. Being a wordsmith, I found them interesting, though I don't require that you find them similarly interesting.

  • "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand.
  • "Lollipop" is the longest word typed with only the right hand.
  • "Typewriter" is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
  • "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt."
  • The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.
  • Only two English words contain all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious."

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
