Blogger fired from language school over ‘homophonia’
By Paul Rolly, Salt Lake Tribune
Homophones, as any English grammarian can tell you, are words that sound the same but have different meanings and often different spellings — such as be and bee, through and threw, which and witch, their and there.
This concept is taught early on to foreign students learning English because it can be confusing to someone whose native language does not have that feature.
But when the social-media specialist for a private Provo-based English language learning center wrote a blog explaining homophones, he was let go for creating the perception that the school promoted a gay agenda.
Education doesn’t always eliminate ignorance; in some cultures it just gives it cover.
Suppression is alive and well. Homorons.
We all agree that the book of mormon is a complete fiction, right?
