There must be a homonym for “homophonophobe”.

I want to know why there's no such thing as a heterophone.

No fair!

Heteronyms are technically heterophonic; the spelling is the same but the sound is different. Compare “desert” verb (to abandon; accent on second syllable) with “desert” noun (arid vegetation-free land; accent on first syllable).

Hmph!

Thanks for bursting my victimhood bubble. I was hoping to collect disability benefits from the mental anguish.

The polls I’ve seen in the past phrase the question, “Have you ever had any same sex contact in your life?”

If yes = homosexual.

So a molested child, a drunk sorority chick making out with a sorority sister, etc. All ‘gay’ for life based on this definition.

Even with that they only get to 1.6%.

Such is the disease called liberalism. It destroys the cerebral cortex to the point where it’s victims function solely by gangliar reflex.

Someone will come along and blow up the spot. Then it’ll be payday.

Is homophone and obamaphone a synonym?

There is so much homosexual propaganda coming in that we can longer simply keep our finger in the dike.

The lesson here is that we need to be niggardly in our use of the word “homophone.”

Can you imagine, so niggardly and homophones are a couple of words that will soon find themselves thrown out of the English language because they offend, even though they have specific meanings.

So does "marriage".
