HAHA! Never thought about it again until just now. They do kind of violate some phonetic principals. My 5th grade teacher told us a story about her parents (who had come from Italy back in the 1970′s) and the words that really threw them off were:

– Throw
– Though
– Thorough

She said that her Mom specifically said “that’s stupid”. HAHA! Never thought about it again until just now. They do kind of violate some phonetic principals.

I think most people have been impacted in some negative way due to hearing one thing when it was supposed to mean another. To prevent mis-heard speech, some people emphasize certain syllables, or in some cases people use affected speech. Here are examples of emphasized or affected speech, not necessarily homonyms. niner (nine), biatch (bitch), dayum (damn) How about tort vs torte. We don't say, "Give the children another piece of tor-tay". Many dictionaries have a usage note regarding the pronunciation of forte, pointing to the influence of the music term forte. On a related note, Marina did a video on the word Colonel vs kernel. That video points out some interesting historical things regarding pronunciation. http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/01/01/colonel-hotforwords-reporting/ Hey, if we didn't have all these inconsistencies there might not have been a HotForWords site. :grin: Question: If we didn’t have homonyms, would we still be talking about how to pronounce fort vs fort-tay?
