What has four letters, sometimes has nine letters, but never has five letters.

P.S. If you have the answer it would be helpful if you would give it in a 'spoiler' box. That's the yellow ball in the "Reply" toolbar.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

Sometimes the strength within you is not a big fiery flame for all to see. It is just a tiny spark that whispers ever so softly "You Got This - Keep Going"

The word "and" should have more accurately been used in the sentence if it is a statement of fact rather than "but", which made the sentence intentionally misleading.
