Did You Know?
An address is a location, while "a dress" is clothing! House numbering systems date back to ancient times but became standardized in the 1700s in Europe. The modern postal system requires specific addresses for delivery. Some cultures read addresses differently - in Japan, they're organized by block rather than street. The longest address in the world belongs to a building in New Zealand with 97 characters!
