Words are interesting
While my dad and I were driving to my grandparents' house yesterday, we were talking about things that are pronounced funny and we realized something that I thought was sort of cool.
You would never think that the names Beecham and Campbell were related, would you? But Beecham is an Anglicization of the French Beauchamp, meaning beautiful field. And Campbell comes from the Italian Campobello, which means the same thing!
I thought that was neat. Humo(u)r me.
