        One is followed by an I, the other followed by an O.

        This creates a different pronunciation.

                  What about give and dive?
                  head and bead?

                  Why would someone make the word to describe a phobia of long words be 'Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' ?

                  Who decided that the word to describe the inability to say the letter s should be 'lisp'?

                        homicide has nothing to do with homogeneous

                        Look at milk. It usually says homogeneous. Why. becuase its made up pf one. heterogeneous is mixed or not one solid. Lets take this into candy bars.

                        Plain Hershey is homo - a snickers is hetero

                        homicide is just a similar looking word that has absolutely not correlation to the other.
