Curiosities of the English Language
This is a blog for people who love the English language and love learning new vocab. I will periodically post words, expressions, idioms etc. that I find curious, interesting or funny .
Be welcome to ...
- suggest new vocab to be posted;
- comment on the posts;
- suggest explanations and exemplifications;
- make corrections.
Enjoy!

I chose this animal to be the symbol of this blog and the first contribution because it is, in my opinion, the oddest animal ever. It is a mammal that lays eggs and has a beak and fins which are similar to a duck's. Curious, isn't it? It is also my favorite animal.
