Why do most bathroom fans sound like a G Sharp?
Because you live in North America. No, really. Our electric current is 60 hz AC. the fan runs at a multiple of that for example 7 * 60 is 420... which is very close to G sharp (A flat) (415.305 Hz).
Europe you wouldn't think of this note since they use 50hz AC.
Not by chance, if you ask an American to hum a note most will hum a G sharp. It is part of our lives.

Do pentatonic scales only use black notes?
That is a misconception. Just as you can have a major scale that starts on any of the 12 tones, you can have pentatonic scales starting on any tone as well. It is the spacing and the number of notes that make a scale pentatonic. Incidentally, you can have a pentatonic melody with standard (non-pentatonic) harmonies accompanying it.

What does flat mean in british?
Flat has more than one meaning, it could mean level, without lumps and bumps, such as flat ground, a flat surface or flat feet, it is also a serving platter used in catering or restaurants, and a Flat is what we British call a place to live or an apartment, for example "I live in a Flat above a shop" or "a block of Flats".
The word 'flat' is also used when someone is singing a note a bit lower that it should be, in this case we call it a 'flat note'. The term 'flat' however, in music, also means to lower a natural note in most cases by a semitone. For example, we have the note E and the note just below E is called 'E flat', which means it is the lowered form of the original note.

What are the lyrics to song invisible faith by canton spirituals?
Invisible Faith
I wasn't there when He walked on the water
I wasn't there when He made the blind man see
I wasn't there when He preached up on the mountain
I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.
I wasn't there when He taught them how to pray
I wasn't there when He calmed the raging storm
I wasn't there when He fed the five thousand
I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.
I wasn't there when He died out on Calvary
I wasn't there when He rose from the grave
I wasn't there when He ascended on up to Glory
I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.
Oh I believe that He is coming back for me
And I believe that He is coming back for you
Out of all the things you may say about Him
I didn't see, I didn't hear, But I believe.

That's a negative entry ("derogatory" is a negative term; "key" suggests it is an important negative entry). I have heard about credit reporting agencies using "key derogatory" where they do not have information from a particular month on file. Specifically in relation to chargeoffs, this can to sometimes occur when the debtor disputes a charge-off appearing in a credit report, and the reporting agency changes the description from "charge-off" to "key derogatory" while they verify the information with the creditor.
