This is not a flounder, although Tom Hill is. This is a ‘Teaching English’ thread. Come one boy, get your act together.

Yes, I am a bit of a thread snob. One of mine has been put into Sports/Fun/Games which is WORSE than a floundering. That forum has less traffic than a south african highway.
And as to your spelling mistake: You know where my desk is, come by, I’ll give you some help.

I obtained the following useless trivial info from a comprehension exercise done in grade 10 at school. The topic was obviously appealing enough for it to have stuck this long … don’t ask me why
The spoonerism was named after the Reverend William Archibald Spooner who lectured at Oxford at the end of the 19th century. He was well-known at the university as a jovial & funny guy who had the habit of swopping the first letter of words … thus the spoonerism.
Some of his best were:
(at a wedding ceremony)
“It is now kisstomary to cuss the bride”
(giving a sermon)
“The Lord is a shoving leopard”
(to a student who had lit a fire in a quadrangle one night)
“Have you been fighting a lira in the quadrangle?”
I guess the most memorable Spoonerismer :help: for me is Zummi from the Gummi Bears.
For some PG Spoonerisms:
Go bite on the wrackboard.
Take this letter home to your Dom and Mad.
