The lovely Christmas hymn “Adeste Fideles” (entitle “O Come, All Ye Faithful” in English) was written by one John Francis Wade in the 13th century. In German, one often puts “Milch” (milk) in one’s “Kaffee” (coffee). The German exclamation “ach!” is usually translated into English as “oh!” We use the word “iota” to portray something very small as it is the smallest of all Greek letters. Iota is the ninth letter in the Greek alphabet. Rhode Island, the smallest state, ties with Hawaii as the state with the second-lowest number of counties at five.
