Did you know?
Did you know that 'quick' is one of the few English words that has been in continuous use since before the 8th century, originally meaning 'alive' as seen in the Bible's 'quick and the dead' from the King James Version of 1611, and it even influenced phrases in modern forensics like the 'quick' in a fingernail, referring to the living tissue?
