Facts About English
In English, the @ symbol is
usually called "the at sign" or "the at symbol".
If we place a comma before
the word "and" at the end of a list, this is known as an "Oxford
comma" or a "serial comma". For example: "I drink coffee,
tea, and wine."
Some words exist only in plural
form, for example: glasses (spectacles), binoculars, scissors, shears, tongs,
gallows, trousers, jeans, pants, pyjamas (but note that clothing words often
become singular when we use them as modifiers, as in "trouser
pocket").
The shortest complete
sentence in English is the following. "I am."

"Checkmate" in chess comes from the Persian phrase "Shah
