6. ² Transcribe the passage below. Write out some examples of strong and weak forms.
The Guardian newspaper is famous for its misprints. Why, there is even a Guardian misprint preserved in brass for posterity. Some years ago the El Vino wine bar decided to put up a plaque in honour of Philip Hope-Wallace, its most faithful and probably wittiest frequenter. And so, mentioning his eminence as a wit, raconteur and critic, it was duly placed above his usual seat on the wall and unveiled at a small ritual.
‘I don't want to seem ungrateful,' said the recipient, peering at it closely, ‘but there's only one ‘l' in Philip and you've put in two.'
‘How can that be?' gasped the management. ‘We were careful to check with the Guardian.'
