You probably don't know that:

1. The day after tomorrow is called Overmorrow.

2. The first cry of a new born baby is called Vagitus


3. Your little toe or finger is called Minimus


4. The dot over an "i" or a "j" is called Tittle


5. When your stomach rumbles, that's a Wamble

Below are other words which most people presumably don't know exist.
well in the old English, tomorrow is refered 'Morrow' so logically you will see overmorrow... Some of the words too are old fashion and no longer common usage sad

Does this put money in my pocket or food on my table? Communication is when the person listening can understand you and using those words would mean the other person will not understand you.

Anyway it is important for those that want to write IELTS exam

It's a correct English word that my primary school pupils pronounce and use for dictations amidst themselves.


Just break it into phonics you'd find yourself pronouncing it easily.
