Homo WHAT? You're fired, pervert

Post by Hermit » Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:08 am

Clarke Woodger makes his money by owning a school that teaches English to da forreners. One of his teachers, Tim Torkildson, published an article about homophones in his blog. You know, stuff like this:

This upset Clarke. He said "People at this level of English … may see the 'homo' side and think it has something to do with gay sex." and fired Tim.

Well, the guy is obviously skilled, let's hope he'll find work for a less moronic boss soon.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

In most of the USA ant and aunt are pronounced the same way.

Woodger was right with his suspicions.

Behold the Homophone!

In the US, it's mostly black folks who say, "Ont", or "On-tee". :dunno:




And, for the benefit of the millions of Aussies, Kiwis, and Brits who come up to visit Alaska's National Parks, the fucking word is "Den-alley", not "De-nollie". :teef:
