ever wondered??

caught this from another site.. rather intriguing..

ever wondered??
Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?
If you jog backwards, will you gain weight?
How come abbreviated is such a long word?
Why are there 5 sylables in the word "monosylabic"?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?
Why is it, when a door is open it's ajar, but when a jar is open, it's not adoor?
