No, that's one of them there trick words.

Back to English 415.

You should have learned about words like this in school.  Like To, Too and
Two.  They all sound the same thing, even if they are spelled rong.  It's
one of them "onym" words, of some sort.  (An't-onym or sin-onym.)

The real bad words are like, wind and wind.  See, these are spelled the
same, but they sound different.  (You can't see the wind blow, but you can
wind up a garden hose.  Or, if you keep flying coupes into strong cross
wind
you're going to wind up getting hurt).  I think these are called
Homo-nym.
Words like these started in San Francisco, they can go both ways.

The words that will get you into trouble are Sin-onyms.  These are kind of
double talk words, saying the same thing two different ways.  Washington
folks use these a lot - "I didn't raise your taxes" or  "I increase the
Government's revenues".  Either way they said you were screwed.  These are
Sin-onyms, basically lies.  (So Sin-onym is a sinonym for lie).

The other type is An't-onym.  It mean opposite.  This word is from the
rural
areas of the country.  They are straight forward on making a point.  If it
an't black, it's white.  If you an't right, then you are wrong.  Thus the
name "An't"-onym.

Now, since I've said something about the folks in San Francisco and
Washington there should be plenty of "Jack Bashing" going on in the list
for
a while.  We may have something to talk about.

Hope you are well and not missing you coupe to bad.  Sure it hurt for the
first few weaks  (nother one of those onym words).

Jack
