The Guardian has published the results from a worldwide survey conducted by the British Council asking participants the words they think most beautiful in the English language.

Bizarrely "Hen night" just scraped into the list at number 70.

And just in case you're wondering, here are my faves from the list:

Passion (2), Blossom (12), Sweetheart (14), Gorgeous (15), Grace (19), Twinkle (23), Serendipity (24), Bliss (25), Lullaby (26), Bubble (31), Pumpkin (40), Bumblebee (44), Hippopotamus (52), Tickle (57), Shipshape (65), Zing (68)
