Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 16, 2020

wow!!

Hey, sometimes with voice recognition, it just comes out as cat ass trophy.

But cat ass trophy was a total catastrophe for the cat…

There… they’re… their! (Grin!)

And lead…lead…led…get used wrong all the time.

That was a real bad a$$ joke, Aunty!

And the winner of the Cat Ass Trophy for the year, and the past 3 years I might add, Donald J Trump. His catastrophy of leadership during this time of crisis was again the main theme of his incredible win, and winning streak.

OH, KNOW!!!! KNOT HOMONYMS. . .Please. . .

Personally I’d prefer the latter to the former.

And they both are apt descriptions of the Orange Turd in the White House.

I’d like to be their in Liverpool to hear you’re smart English lectures, Aunty.

Sum people, there just stupid!

“Your” and “you’re” are true homophones, Aunty. I don’t know of any English dialectic where “you’re” reasoning holds up. :op

And that’s our English lesson for the day.

BTW, tell that to auto-correct.

There are two too many ways to spell to.

Glad to see so many folks here who appreciate good English as much as I do!

Given a choice, I’d take the Trophy.

Then there are heteronyms, which are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and sound different. They can be murder in such venues as crossword puzzles. Here’s a classic example from the NY Times:

Clue: Number of people

Answer: Anesthesiologist (think about it)

Made me both laugh and grind my teeth when I finally figured it out.

This is the exact thing that got Smash the Ogre in trouble down in Xanth.
