What’s the difference between a ship and a boat? When does a hill become a mountain?
The answers to these and numerous other questions are revealed in a new ebook.
Author Mark Beales collected hundreds of examples of trivia and strange facts while teaching in Thailand and Vietnam, and decided to collect them all in one place to create the ebook ‘Did You Know?’
Mark said: “I’ve always been fascinated by little-known facts and started sharing them with my students. They liked hearing these too, so I decided to write a book about them.
“Researching the book was fascinating as I picked up a heap of new trivia – such as the fact that the word ‘daisy’ is a combination of ‘day’s eyes’ because they tend to open more in the daytime. Or that the word ‘huh?’ is used in every recorded language.”
