Do words “iron” and “irony” have anything in common? @dainichi: I suspect there are a large number. I cannot see the word areal without wanting to read it as "a-real" (unreal) rather than the intended "area-l". |

Is there any shorter pronunciation of W than double-U? That is a bit Latin-American: in Spain it is uve doble, though only used in loanwords. |

Are all of these sentences grammatical? 3 looks as if it has two main verbs in a single phrase and would benefit from some adjustment such as "that" or ";" between crime and he |

“You're not” vs. “you ain't” @5arx: ain't does stand in for have not when have is an auxiliary verb: e.g. "You ain't eaten" for "You have not eaten", or even "I ain't got it" for "I have not got it", though in London spoken English the Ts could turn to glottal stops. |

What is a “Dublin Castle Knight”? A problem with this is that all the knights of St Patrick were royals or peers, so none of the were called "Sir ... ..." as they had grander titles. |

Adverb form of “sustainable” @Andrew: Possibly. Hence my comment "it is not clear to me whether it is an adjective or adverb". |
