RE: Learn Something New Every Day Contest. Day 9
@gogogadgetupvoted yes it's a fun to learn in this way. From your series i learned that news is not an acronym of North, east, west south but it's New events weather and sports. Today i add little about news fact
Do you know that on Friday 18th April 1930 BBC Reported that "there is no news." Instead, they played piano music.
It is not an acronym, either. NEWS is just NEWS. It doesn't stand for anything. The word has latin roots, like most American English.
Yes you told it to me earlier and i acknowleged you in my yesterday post,but unfortunately you missed the last paragraph of my post where there was some thing new for most people. Keep sharing @gogogadgetupvote
I think I read that fact about the BBC reporting only once, that "there is no news". Which is just about the most absurd thing ever. They actually got some jackass to go tell the whole country "Absolutely NOTHING happened yesterday".... LOL
