@ Martin of Sheffield: Your edit summary, when you restored the word "originally" in front of "founded", read "the school was refounded by Henry VIII". What do you mean by "refounded"? You can't "found" something that already exists. Largoplazo ( talk) 10:57, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
I refer you to the Oxford English Dictionary:
refound ... to found (a town, etc.) again; to re-establish.
— "refound". Oxford English Dictionary. Vol. XIII (2nd ed.). Oxford University Press. 1989. p. 484.
Quotations include 1500-20 "our fayth is now refoundit", 1641 "Her service hath Preserv'd the Kingdom, and refounded Cyprus" and 1754 "The first foundation of the church by Wilfrid, and the refounding by K. H. 8th".
Would you have a similar problem with the near synonym "establish"? "I re-established radio contact with the yacht" does not imply a gynaecological improbability. Martin of Sheffield ( talk) 13:59, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
