类似的还有12、13。这是在写日期时常出现的一个小错误。这是序数词的几个“例外”，因为它们是写成eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth而不是elevenst, twelvend, thirteenrd.

Fall on (one's) sword
承认错误、引咎辞职、承担责任。这个词其实是来自日本军队所谓“剖腹自尽”的行为。

在英语里也有很多描述小偷或者偷盗行为的词汇，不仅仅是steal、thief。比如说人爱偷东西可以说他的手比较粘（sticky finger）。再比如被人偷钱包这种事情，有个专门的说法是pickpocket。这个词可以指专门进行这种偷盗行为的人。例如可以说the police is looking for a pickpocket. 也可以指这种值得所有人都防备的行为：how to prevent myself from being pickpocketed?
