Talk:Muslim Mosque, Inc.

foundered?
The following sentence and I quote "Following the assassination of Malcolm X in February 1965, Muslim Mosque, Inc. foundered and was disbanded"

The word "foundered" appears incorrect and my hypothesis is it was actually intended to say "Floundered" --172.251.204.186 (talk) 02:21, 13 November 2015 (UTC)


 * No, "founder" is right.
 * From TheFreeDictionary.com:
 * 1. To sink below the surface of the water: The ship struck a reef and foundered.
 * 2. To cave in; sink: The platform swayed and then foundered.
 * 3. To fail utterly; collapse: a marriage that soon foundered.
 * Usage Note: The verbs founder and flounder are often confused. Founder comes from a Latin word meaning "bottom" (as in foundation) and originally referred to knocking enemies down; it is now also used to mean "to fail utterly, collapse." Flounder means "to move clumsily, thrash about," and hence "to proceed in confusion." If John is foundering in Chemistry 101, he had better drop the course; if he is floundering, he may yet pull through.
 * Hope that helps. 107.10.236.42 (talk) 03:54, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
