Nope, we don't.

However, what you call "French letter" we call " capote anglaise".

Always someone else's fault.

OK, could a mod rename this "The QI thread" since 80% of this thread is from there

 

Although a lot of the wrong ones (no rhyme for month for example) were also proven false on QI.

 

Month rhymes with the neologism Unieth: a very obscure and archaic word meaning "difficult".

 

 

Month also rhymes with Dunth: which was invented just to have something to rhyme with month. It supposedly means "a word that rhymes with nothing" or " a word that rhymes with month". Dunth does not appear in any major dictionary.

 

Still not been proven false in my opinion, unless theres a real word that i'm unaware of.
