I read somewhere that 3 out of 2 people suffer from some form of Dyslexia.....

What you guys are creating are called "Spoonerisms". It's when letters or syllables get swapped in a phrase and get their name from the Rev W. A. Spooner who was Dean of New College, Oxford England around the turn of the previous century. He was famous for getting things mixed up and turned around when speaking. Reverend Spooner's tendency to get words and sounds crossed up could happen at any time, but especially when he was agitated. He reprimanded one disruptive student this way; "Sir, you have been caught fighting a liar in the quad!" "You have hissed all my mystery lectures! "You have tasted two whole worms!" and " I want you on the next town drain!" Once when he officiated a wedding he told the reluctant Groom, "It's Kisstomary to Cuss the Bride". I would love to have had him as a race track announcer!!!

I do it all the time in every day life! Not only do I confuse my words , but also confuse names places etc! Trust me, there is one that they won't let me live down probably for as long as I live! I pointed everyone in the right direction for the WRONG town one time and now it is a joke that they use about every day!!! Hey, Sonyea.. Savona.... Clearly it is close enough to call it one or the other!   ;) Nothing better than putting your foot in your mouth, making a mistake etc! As long as you can laugh about it nothing else matters! I still get tears in my eyes when I get a phone call from someone heading to Rochester saying, hey.... were about to pass the exit from390 toward Savona (Don't worry.. I had them headed to BR but gave them the Sonyea name for exit!)  I often find my mind in high gear and my mouth laggin to keep up! My excuse anyways! Heck, I can't even yell at one of my kids without going through all three of their names before getting it right! Clearly my story isn't as funny as your mishap.. but if it helps..lol! BTW.. nice flubber!
