1. F*ck
The word f-u-c-k is one of the most widely recognized swear words in the English language. The literal f-word is a shortened version of: 'FornicationUnder the Consent of the King.' Like most swear words, it did originate from a sexual reference, which is still how it's used today.

British Swear Words (UK)
The British have one of the most original swear words. Given that it's where the English language originated from, it makes sense that they're so unique! The following British English swear words are most commonly used in the UK but are slowly being recognized around the globe.

Choad is just another word for penis and can be used similarly to the way the word '$#*!' is used in America.

Ed-puzzle is a great site for teachers who want them to see the entire video they post. I don't like it because when your down with all the Qs, you have to finish the video to turn it in. While that's a bad thing, its also help full so the student doesn't just skip though the video and answer Qs and turn it in.

The website makes you watch the entire video before you turn it in, which isn't the worst thing because students can't skim through it. However, sometimes some of the questions on edpuzzle have little to no relation with what was recently being seen in the video (also it grades on accuracy). There are worse websites such as NoRedInk and Reading Plus but this website is still kind of meh (maybe use khan academy instead).
