No secret that language fascinates me. It's cold and dreary out and a perfect time to do some language sleuthing. I really love the BrownieLocks site for a number of reasons, but the offering I link to below offers a look at the sometimes quirky side of our language. You'll find the history of anagrams there (auction=caution), some really great cognative anagrams ( alien forms=life on Mars) and some very funny malapropisms (Generally speaking, can you be more specific please?)

Can see you're avoiding the news cycle--don't blame you. My kids love this kind of word play so it'll be their treat after school today.
Thanks for the link to this site. Was catching up on my blog reading when I spotted it. Some great examples to bring to my classroom.
