I see, keeping it “ad homonym” (the correct way to spell it) again while accusing others of doing the same...as far as the arrogant a-hole attack goes, we see mostly in other people what we fail to see in ourselves.

Have a great day! And enjoy your obsessive compulsive tendency to step all over all those who do not agree with you.

hmmm. "Ad homonym"... That's really funny. Pardon me while I wax sarcastic.

"ad" is latin for the phrase "to the", as in ad astra, meaning "To the stars."

"homonym" means "Each of two or more words that sound the same that have different meanings and/or spellings." examples: to, too, two; there, their, they're; fair, fare; pair, pear, sole, soul; merry, marry, Mary.

So you are accusing me of using "to the words that sound the same?"

Wow! That stings. No! It really looks as if you might really know this is true about me.

I guess I will just have to plead guilty to that, too bad. That's at least two times now that I've been accused of doing something I actually really do regularly. Mon Dieu! That must be due to too much morning dew falling on my head. Mea Culpa! I'll have to start mourning my guilt tomorrow... as soon as I stop laughing.

Don't you just love it when someone steps up to demonstrate their ignorance by correcting someone who is already correct? I do.

May I suggest a good dictionary... or some Latin lessons? Here is some help for you with this well known, correctly spelled phrase "ad hominem"

Irony is such a bitch, isn't she?

Enough sarcasm.
