Should I take this as a compliment?

[Andara Bledin]

Yes, which led to the wonderful invention of "Lite" rather than "light" *shudder* Colour me nauseated

Oh, no, I won't accept that one, either. And I only use "thru" when talking about a "drive thru," otherwise, it's "through." Same for "though," which I refuse to write as "tho."

Even though, when you compare it to words like cough and such, the spelling and pronunciation make no sense.

You should try living in Utah we have our own way of pronouncing words <snip>

And I was 18 before I found out that 'pin' & 'pen' are not homophones. The class was History of the English Language & the professor was Irish by birth.

I had wondered (back in 3rd grade) why we didn't cover certain words in the homophone section of the Reading class. Turns out, to the rest of the English-speaking world, they aren't homophones.

We won't talk about what happens when I've watched too much BBC. It's ugly. *shudder*
