[Ads-l] Children's speech errors; 3 examples

[James A. Landau]

When I was in elementary school I thought the abbreviation "Rx" for "prescription" came from the success of the Rexall chain of drugstores.

There was "SS Mary and Elizabeth Hospital" in Louisville KY.  I thought the hospital was named after the Cunard liners.
