Summary
Details

What may seem like random trivia to some can spark profound fascination in others-or perhaps, not yet. For those who revel in the wonders of the natural world, every fact that piques curiosity or prompts an ""I didn't know that"" moment is worth sharing.

Did you know?

Shakespeare invented over 1,700 words that we still use today, including bedroom, lonely, and gossip. Every complete sentence needs a subject and a predicate-otherwise, it's just a fragment! The Oxford English Dictionary adds new words each year to reflect how our language is constantly changing.

The Book of Arcane Knowledge is your go-to guide for fascinating facts about language, literature, and writing. Packed with intriguing insights, it invites you to explore the richness of English-from the roots of words to the magic of storytelling-deepening your appreciation for how language shapes our world.
