10 November - Tongue Twister Day
These deliberately difficult expressions were popular in the 19th century. The popular "she sells seashells" tongue twister was originally published in 1850 as a diction exercise. The term tongue twister was first applied to this kind of expressions in 1895. One particularly old and well-known tongue twister dates back to at least 1836, if not earlier. It appeared in Peter Piper's Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation.
"Pad kid poured curd pulled cod." A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have dubbed this tongue twister the world's most difficult. "If anyone can say this (phrase) 10 times quickly, they get a prize," said Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, an MIT psychologist.
Tongue twisters are important because they combine two things that help humans learn. They combine repetition and they can find an element of surprise and fun.
