    But flammable and inflammable are synonyms. Non-flammable means it doesn't burn.

    Mathematically they're the same thing at the end of the day. 5672 ÷ 6 is equal to five thousand six hundred and seventy two sixths.

    How to pronounce loads and loads of words. I can read and understand a huge range of words, I can spell them perfectly but I just have no idea how to say them out loud. Watching every video online on mute with subtitles probably doesn't help. Will has the opposite problem as he watches videos all the time. He can pronounce everything but can't spell to save his life. I often have to ask him how to pronounce something I see in a book and he asks me how to spell something if he is writing an email.

    I think it’s you that missed a few lessons!

    A fraction isn’t something less than 1 or less than 100% at all! It’s a method of representing a number.

    I think what ST is trying to say is that the division symbol is a representation of a fraction. The dots in the symbol represent numbers.

    Using a / for division is the same thing 1/2 is just a fraction on its side 1 ÷ 2 and ½.

    That the neck on babies vest suits are designed so that you can roll them down and off instead of over their heads in case of a nappy leak.

    Unfortunately I only found this out when my daughter had stopped wearing nappies.

    I used to think someone switched on the Cats Eyes in the middle of the road.

    And I was amazed on a long trip which passed some different cinemas to see the same film being shown in all the cinemas.

    I didn't know the difference, until yesterday, between 'marinate' and 'marinade' in cooking.

    I’ve only recently discovered that the little arrow on the dash near your petrol dial tells you which side your filler cap is on,
