At first glance there appears to be nothing special or different about the word ‘almost’ but that is simply because you are not looking at it in the correct way. If you pay particularly close attention to how the word is formed, then you will see that something will hopefully start to leap out for you.
So, what is this crazy thing that we are mentioning? Well, it turns out that this word is the longest in the English language where all of the letters are in alphabetical order. Now when you go and look at how you spell the word it will all start to make absolute sense, so if you want to try to catch people out over such a simple word, then now you know how to.
