**FUN FACT: Are you wondering why October has the root “oct” when it is the tenth month of the year? Well, in the old Roman calendar, it was the eighth month of the year (January and February did not exist in that calendar.) After January and February were inserted, October retained its original name even though it was no longer the eighth month of the year.
