h'ronzoff-R&ronf It's a new game we have invented,
which rmght behelpful in English instruction, and we
named it Wrongoff-Rthton! Here's the way it works: Ye
present to you several sentences each of which contains
one wrong word. When you think of the right word for
sentence No. I you put it down to be the first word of a -new
sentence We are trying to build. Then you go to
sentence No. 2, you discover the wrong word in that one,
and you set down the word it should have been as the
second word of the new sentence. And so on. Here we go,
then, with eight sentences, each containing one wrong

-Now for something good. Suppose the home team lost
and a home town sports writer said that the opposing
team "went ahead for good" in the second quarter. Some
home town readers might ask, "What was good about it?"
J. V. ViSiams of Philadelphia asks whether the phrase for
good is a colloquialism or perhaps Pennsylvania Dutch. It
is neither, it has been in use in English since the early 17th
century. Sometimes it appeared and still appears as
for good and all. It suggests a valid conclusion, a condition
of finally indicating no further cause for concern. In that
sense good could be taken to mean good.
Wood oddities. "Did you ever eat a hamburger made wi A
ham?" asks Ra!ph Berrelli of Ambler, Pa 'Then why are
they called hamburgers?" They are called fusnhwgm
because they originated in the German city of Hamburg,
Originally, almost a century ago, these chopped beef
dishes were called hmburg stacks, then they becsne
h&nbuTger steaks and when they developed into sand
wiches they were termed hamburgers. (During VorldVar
I hamburger steaks were called Salisbury steaks.) The ham
part of hamburger apparently deceived many people
because the -burger part came to be regarded as a suffix
and that brought into being cheeseburger, chickenburgcr,
porkburger and you name it. Cetter yet, you eat it
