Apparently, the Latin word for 'no one' is nemo (which gives a whole new meaning to 'Finding Nemo', heh).
Just thought I'd throw in that bit of trivia. :P

I'm starting to read some in Portugese. Are Rs pronounced like Ds? Are RRs pronounced like H? Any other tricks?

Cool! 8)
:notsure: I can't think of any case in which R is pronounced like a D. Do you have an example you're not sure about? If so, you can look up a word in a pronunciation dictionary, such as https://forvo.com/ (https://forvo.com/).
As for RR, depends on the word and the accent. ;) Some pronounce it with a rolling R, others as H.
Dreamt is the only word in the English language that ends with "mt."
Dreamt is a word used by Brits and Aussies. Americans are much more likely to use the term Dreamed. Other Brit usages are seen in words like Learnt, or some other past activity.

I learnt it as 'dreamt' and not 'dreamed', but even so I think my English is a mixed mess between American and British usage. :P
Oh well, what's important is being understood by all, is it not? :lol:
I was taught dreamt as well.
How many English words have the combination md in them?
