Flapsforty,
I was taught at school never to start a sentence with the word "But". Consider yourself reprimanded.
Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language, according to a survey of over 40,000 overseas voters and learners of English at our teaching centres. The survey was conducted to coincide with our 70th anniversary celebrations.
We asked over 7,000 learners in 46 countries what they considered to be the most beautiful words in the English language. In addition an online poll was run via our websites in all non-English speaking countries.
The online poll was constructed and the results analysed using Confirmit, the world’s Number one online survey and reporting software
www.confirmit.com. Over 35,000 people voted.
According to the survey results, the top eleven most beautiful words in the English language are as follows:
Mother
Passion
Smile
Love
Eternity
Fantastic
Destiny
Freedom
Liberty
Tranquillity

OK, the last one was added by myself, but I guess that there were not many pilots among the 40,000 surveyed.
