The Bristish Council carried out a research over 100 *non-Engish-speaking* countries for the 70 most impressive words. The result indicated that the most-liked English word was"mother". It is really the most beautiful word. Some interesting words in the list are "umbrella"(49th), "oi"(61st) and "hiccup"(63rd) but "Father" cannot be found. Does it mean our fathers are less important/impressive that umbrella and kangaroo(50th)? Fathers may be upset for this. Here are the top 10 words:
1. mother
2. passion
3. smile
4. love
5. eternity
6. fantastic
7. destiny
8. freedom
9. liberty
10. tranquility
