|
| 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
