What are 4 interesting things about Sherlock Holmes?
There's the story that he says "Elementary, my dear Watson" when he never even utters those words. There's the myth that he always wears a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape, but, in the original stories, he is only shown in those clothes in two stories requiring travel. Then there's the stereotype that Watson is a short, fat, old man. But he's not that much older than Sherlock Holmes, and he was actually an army doctor, which actually requires him to be quite fit. He's better described as "stocky".
Did Sherlock Holmes ever say- elementary my dear Watson?
Sherlock HolmesThis is a common misconception, actually. Not once did Sherlock say these words.In the story The Crooked Man, Holmes says: "Elementary," and he often addresses Dr. Watson as, "My dear Watson." Personally, I believe that this quote probably came from one of the early plays or episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and so now everyone naturally associates it with him. (Just a theory, though.)

After Watson and Holmes meet in 'The Adventure of the Empty House,' Watson writes the following: "In some manner he had learned of my own sad bereavement, and his sympathy was shown in his manner rather than in his words."
