…“even illness becomes wellness.”
This was posted by my Mom on facebook and I immediately burst out laughing out insipid and silly it is.
But then I got to thinking… if we replaced any instance of i with we, what would we get?
Are there any examples of innocuous words that become awful? Good words that become bad?
This is your next challenge, Dopers. Give me some fodder to comment on my mom’s silly picture, if you want 
It becomes wet.
“… even it becomes wet.”
My favorite of this type of glurge:
There is no “i” in “team.”
No, but there is an “eat” and a “me” if you jumble it up.
fie.
Ireland becomes Wereland, which doesn’t sound like a very good place to visit.
Unless someone starts referring to himself as “we” instead of “I”. That was one of the symptoms of what turned out to be the beginning of a downward spiral/nervous breakdown/depression thing that I watched a friend go through.
I always liked Michael Jordan’s response after a late scoring run to win a game caused a coach to say, “There’s no ‘I’ in team Michael.”
Jordan just stared at him and said, “There’s an ‘I’ in win.”
This is a lot more difficult that I thought it would be at first. I think “it becomes wet” is the best we’ve got.
I was foolish enough to mention this to my family this morning. All day, Mr. Legend has been popping up with non sequiturs:
“Inch becomes wench!”
“Boil becomes bowel!”
“Ire becomes were!”
“In becomes wen!”
And the older Myth came up with, “Indigo becomes wendigo!” and is staunchly defending that because, “It was in ‘Pet Sematery’!”
Make it stop, please?
Haha, thank you for sharing everyone.
“Gweve 'em a wench, and they’ll take a mwele”
This has to stop.
“Avoid becomes avowed!”
“But that’s not turning a positive into a negative, honey.”
“Okay, I’ll stop thinking of them!”
His words to God’s ear.
Can I have your family? Because this seems like an awesome way to spend the day.
I agree. In fact, I’m rightly jealous, a tad! Haha!
Evil becomes evwel, and who can be afraid of that? It sounds like something Elmer Fudd would say
