Are these facts incorrect?

“Oneth” isn’t such a stretch as US textbooks often refer to the zeroth law of thermodynamics. It came along after the first and second but should have actually been first.

**Well,some of those statements were explored and/or refuted in that thread, but only those that the OP’er thought were questionable.

I know that #8 is not strictly true. While “screeched” is one of the longest one-syllable words in the English language, it is not the only one. The word “strengths” is also nine letters long, with only one syllable. Also, it is the longest word in the English language with only one of the five main vowels (A,E,I,O,U).

“Stretched” and “scratched” are just as long as “screeched,” too. **

However, “scratched” has two vowels, so it doesn’t fit the description.

11. No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.

From one of Louis Sachar’s books (in one of the “Wayside School” books, I believe):

“My baby brother’s crying
His face is turning purple
Do you think anything will help?
Maybe a burp’ll.”
