Prying not spying!!Typo in file name now corrected!
However you might like to note that a spoonerism includes the swapping of parts of the word that sound alike, not just a letter for letter exchange.
Spoonerism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of the quotations attributed to Spooner are apocryphal – The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (3rd edition, 1979) lists only one substantiated Spoonerism - 'The weight of rages will press hard upon the employer.'
You will note that 'Weight of Rages' is not a letter for letter swap with 'Rate of Wages'
