why are 'homicide' and 'homosexual' prounounced differently?
 

what are you a hawmo?

makes no sense

the second "o"

What Jesus said...





























(Did I really just type that???)

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

This creates a different pronunciation.

cause o is a versitile letter?

bomb
comb
tomb

Never mind that, how come amn't isn't a proper contraction?

Because they are spelt differently?

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'?

hom·i·cide (hŏm'ĭ-sīd', hō'mĭ-)

ho·mo·sex·u·al (hō'mə-sěk'shōō-əl, -mō-)

Either way, you will burn in hell for both... :1orglaugh:pimp

j/k

threads like this make me so much more eager to go back to school

cant wait to take linguistics

homicide has nothing to do with homogeneous

Plain Hershey is homo - a snickers is hetero

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

This thread made me feel a bit dumber just by reading it. :(

no it was God...:thumbsup
