Assuming I'm at the end of the three words where the transpositionshould take place, I usually do Jack and Jill went up the hill. ^ point is here: M-b Jack and Jill went up the hill. ^ point is here: M-t Jack Jill and went up the hill. ^ point is here: M-b M-b Jack Jill and went up the hill. ^ point is here: M-t M-t Jill and Jack went up the hill.It seems moderately elegant to me, because it involves a fairly simple ordering of only two different functions. Having said that, I don't doit that regularly and so still often screw it up.
There is a slightly quicker way of doing it (with | indicating point):
Jack |and Jill went up the hill. M-2 M-t and Jill Jack| went up the hill. M-2 M-b (or M-b M-b) and |Jill Jack went up the hill. M-t Jill and Jack went up the hill.But yeah, I've also been in the situation where I wished there were a function 'transpose two words while pretending the word point is on isn't there'...
