Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.911 for US Emergency (急救) CallsEarly phones didnt use phone numbersthe operator had to connect your call by handand this led
2、to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed.

The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km)
3、, as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special.

And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.28 Days in FebruaryBefore using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten mon
4、ths (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. Thats how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.48.
