A sixth grade class is 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, that’s wrong. Can anyone else spell before?“Another little boy stands up and says, „Before, B-E-F-O-O-R.“Again the teacher says, „No, that’s wrong.“ The teacher asks, „Little Johnny, can you spell ‚before‘?“Little Johnny stands up and says, „Before, B-E-F-O-R-E.“ „Excellent Johnny, now can you use it in a sentence?“Little Johnny says, „That’s easy. Two plus two be fore.“
