The number 4 is used in a lot of situations:
1. Four quarters in a football or basketball game
2. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
3. Texting
4. Golf... no, no that's a different one.
But did you know that it's the only number that when spelled has the same number of letters as itself?
4 = F O U R
(4 letters!)
Neat, huh?
