Welcome to Day 7 of my July Trivia posts.*
Trivia: “Dreamt” is the only English word that ends in the letters “mt.”
This is true. All the words that end in “mt” are a variation of dreamt, such as undreamt and daydreamt. Dreamt is a British English word that, while seen occasionally in the American lexicon, is not common on this side of the pond.
I don’t know why this is trivia. It isn’t that interesting unless you are playing Scrabble and have an “m” and “t” tile that you don’t know what to do with. Grammarly tried to change “daydreamt” into “daydream,” which made sense to me.
I give this trivia a 5 out of 10. It may be true, but it seems a useless thing to know.
*I’m doing something hard (for me) in July that I don’t want to talk about until August (in case I fail.) This something takes a lot of time, so I’m simplifying my July posts. I’m using a list of trivia that Aunt Patti emailed me. Each day, I will explore a trivia fact and bring you the truth, not just the clickbait. I might even rate the trivia. I think this will be fun because I love exploring new topics and sharing them with you. I hope you learn something too. If you do, why not share it with a friend. One of my goals is to get more readers, and word of mouth is a great way to do that. Many thanks.
