Are You An AssHole?

Lol

oh god

the age-old

LOL I MEANT TO MAKE IT SOUND LIKE THAT

gambit

when you say someting stupid

it's best just to let it go and wait for everyone to forget about it

trying in vain to save face only makes it worse

No it actually is the only very specific definition (that I know of) that differentiates the two types of homophones. In this case it was specifically words that sound the same but are spelled differently. A homophone can be a word spelled the same word with two meanings as well. A heterograph is always a word that has the same pronunciation with different spelling.

You're making it seem like I just looked up homophone in some thesaurus.

I like those chicken wraps from KFC, they're so yummy.

But I haven't had one in forever.

both work equally well

using arcane words for the sake of using arcane words when a simpler term is available is poor writing

at least that's what they told me in journalism school

but it's really cool how you can paraphrase wiki

Please continue your attempts to flame me for using a word properly in the right context.

wrong context.

Since you decided to ninja edit.

Over 50% of the people on these forums wouldn't know what a homophone is so what exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

Please provide a more known, more simple term that describes two words that are spelled differently but share the same pronunciation.

I never had one! Also, yay for voting. :3

confusing.
jkjk.
what are you guys arguing about again?

you're(i don't see how it's possible) underestimating the average poster on this forum

last time i checked homophone is 5th grade, it may be earlier

my mommy is a 5th grade teacher and she teaches homophones right along similes, metaphors, onomatopoeias, and other longish words you learn in grade school

i'd love to continue but i got lolethics class

maybe when i get back

Lol, we learned what a homophone was in 2nd grade. Oh also, Hooked on Phonics!

Does your ethics class cover botting?

Edit:Anybody else listen to this song in elementary school?

HOOKED ON PHONETICS!

Still didn't provide a word.. but that's alright.

You're also giving too much credit to society. I never said people on these forums never learned what a homophone was I said they wouldn't know. I do think nearly everyone on the forums has made it past the 5th grade.

Have you ever watched are you smarter than a 5th grader? I wouldn't exactly call knowing the term homophone a requirement for a fully functioning adult in society. Many of the questions on that show that the children get correctly and the adult miss are useless information. Thank your mother for me for teaching completely impractical and useless information to children for years.

Also, I think I may kill myself if you try to mention you are in school or going to school or attend school or on your way to school in another post. You do realize you mention it in some form or fashion about every other post no matter the topic of discussion. Just letting you know that no one is passing out prizes here for you furthering your education. I can promise you no one gives a ***that you are in school or what type of school you are in or the classes you are taking. Leave that nonsense for your face book status that everyone will also not give a ***about but at least they will know who *** you are.

I always thought it was a phone that was slightly curious about other phones...
>.>
<.<


wait!
that's a biphone...my bad.

I care =D

Sev only mentioned that he was going to his "lolethics class" because he has a class to attend. Therefore, he won't be replying to your posts for the time being.

Also, getting an education is a good thing.

You're trying too hard...

I was all amped up when I saw the ads, knew I had to try one.
It was good but i couldn't eat another one lol.

As for the *** test, it was kind of disappointing how many questions were geared towards the workplace.
I'd hate for my personality to be judged based so much around my job.
Granted, if I had a job I liked and it was really part of my life, then I could see it being true.
In the immortal words of Greg Graffin "Can that be all there is?"

Damnit...I thought that joke would have killed.
Bah...back to the drawing boards.

This. Seeing as Tweeek got a 4 in this test, yet posts ***like that, it's pretty obvious this test isn't very good.

Or Tweek lied on the test.
Can't rule that one out.

So he's a liar and an ***-hole.

For shame.

Or maybe the answer is both A and B!

Well, I think it was for a book that was about making an ***-free workplace.

Ah right on, that makes sense then.

Yea I'm an *** for taking someones statement that they had to make in their defense and seeing how it could be plausible and trying to help the rest understand where that person could be coming from.

Or I'm an *** for responding to someone who tries to talk down to me for using the right word at the right time.

The "test" was based mostly on work, I enjoy my workplace. Had the test been centered on normal social life I would have scored similarly. Had the test been scored based on behavior on internet forums or in game FPS (I am hostile in FPS games but not in MMOs) behavior I would fail miserably. I suppose I'm susceptible to being trolled and have no problem becoming hostile with "internet idiots".


Giazz, this is just my observation from the few posts of his I have read over the course of a week. Was it really necessary for him to point out that he went to journalism school? He did so trying to discredit anyone who could possibly oppose his opinion on anything that comes to writing or grammar.
