The worldâs water exists naturally in different forms and locations: in the air, on the surface, below the ground, and in the oceans. Freshwater accounts for only 2.5% of the Earthâs water, and most of it is frozen in glaciers and ice caps.
On Christmas Day, 1066, William the Conqueror was crowned the first Norman king of England, in Westminster Abbey, and the Anglo-Saxon phase of English history came to an end. French became the language of the kingâs court and gradually blended with the Anglo-Saxon tongue to give birth to modern English.
William is a popular given name of old Germanic origin. It became very popular in the English language after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and remained so throughout the Middle Ages and into the modern era.n fact, William is from the Old Norman form Williame, because the English language should have retained helm. The development to-iam is the result of the diphthongation [iaÊ·] + [m] in Old Norman-French, quite similar in Old Central French [eaÊ·] + [m] from an early Gallo-Romance form. .
