In schools, a prefect is a student who has been given some extra, trusty-like authority over other students.

I don't know why, I find it so funny. Like the one I came across today, "I'm very well in English and French". I can't stop laughing.

I've made one of those mistakes myself... When I worked in Market Research, I once e-mailed a client and told him that I would "cancel all shits for the rest of the week". Thankfully, he thought it was hilarious.
I also amused my Greek friends by missing the initial letter off the word for 'sun lounger' with the result that what I wrote meant "I was lying on a clothes horse".
