A fourth grade class was doing some spelling drills. The teacher asks
Tommy if he can spell ‘before’. He stands up and says, “Before,
B-E-P-H-O-R.” The teacher says, “No thats wrong, can anyone else spell
‘before’?” Suzie stands up and says, “Before, B-E-F-O-O-R.” Again the
teacher says, “No thats wrong,” The teacher asks, “John, can you spell
‘before’?” John stands up and says, “Before, B-E-F-O-R-E.” The teacher
says, “Excellent John. Now, can you use it in a sentence?” John says, “Yes
ma’am. Two plus two be fore.”
