I thought they must have misunderstood the question. After all, Lyndon Johnson's LAST letters in his name are the same. That said, I've known what alliteration is since elementary school. It's a way of playing with words to make them special. You start with the building blocks of reading to learn, and then once kids have phonics, fluency, vocab and comprehension, teachers encourage students to start playing with their vocabulary in a way that is comprehensive but also creative. Alliteration is just one of those things they teach, along with things such as similes, metaphors, rhymes and other devices to make their work better.
@@rhyswilliams6488 Steve Harvey does a much better job at making stupid answers obvious. What did he say that one time...oh yeah... "That's about the stupidest thing you could have said" 😂
Are there any marsupials at all in Britain? Given that detail, how many British citizens would know anything about the Tasmanian devil, let alone that it is a marsupial?
"Carry on Cleo" provided 2 answers. Anthony, played by Sid James, has a thing with Amanda Barrie's Cleopatra. Julius Caesar, played by Kenneth Williams, is unfortunately married to termagent Calpernia, wonderfully played by Joan Sims.
@@paulstorey4118 he didn't say they were the same, he said they were commonly referred to as possums, and if you ask someone in North America they will usually refer to an opossum as a possum
@@paulstorey4118 Hi Paul, perhaps you missed it--we won the war. The word Possum comes from an Algonquian word, Native to America. It's all of you who've gotten it wrong out of pathetic, desperate attempts to smother Native languages here. Jog on now.
I guess I could excuse not knowing what alliterative means, but Richard explained what it meant. 😂
Xander likes to make it obvious when the answer is stupid, doesn't he...

@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I think they either had no clue what alliteration meant or they couldn't think of one so they just said a name they knew.

How the bloody hell was Tasmanian Devil pointless
Maybe people didn’t realise it is a real animal as opposed to cartoon character.
Probably people thinking of it as a dog and not a marsupial
Because the British knowledge of marsupials goes like this
name a marsupial - a Kangaroo
name another marsupial - another Kangaroo
You do wonder don’t you 😂

Chuffed for the handsome Joe - he seemed so apologetic and down on himself the whole time, so lovely to see he and his partner do so well.

I think they mixed it up with Tootles
I would have gotten 1 point for Olivia with Sebastian. Dang it.

These episodes were so much harder back then.
Possum and Opossum are not the same
An opossum is still commonly called a possum as Richard mentioned
@@XaviRonaldo0 , possums are Australian ,opossums from the americas , people can call them whatever they like but they are not the same

@ , my point was they are different, I’m not questioning the etymology merely stating a fact
I tried to find what a honey mouse looked like and can't find an animal called that. The closest is a honey possum.
yeah, it's honey possum or also called the brown-barred mouse. they may have mixed the two names together here.
yeah, the honey possum can alternatively be called the brown-barred mouse. they may have mixed the two names up here.
A quokka is not Australian! It's West Australian.
Despite being reluctant to join and trying to leave, Western Australia is still part of Australia.
