Oddbean new post about login | logout I am constantly surprised by being wrong about what other people understand. TIL my husband did not know the sentence "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" contains all the letters in the alphabet.
@bb052609 Recently there was a NYT crossword with a theme of "sesquipedalian" words and the comments were full of people who'd never heard of the big theme word, "antidisestablishmentarianism" (and were mad about it). I know it's an obscure word, but I'd thought all crosswordish people would have learned it as the factoid of the "longest word in the English language" as a kid. Though not its meaning, of course! 😆 So yeah, same here -- often wrong about others' knowledge!
@bb052609 Did he not wonder what it was about?
@bb052609 Or another example might be how I don't know what "TIL" means. Haha
