Johnno - It pertains to the population of Religions and Spirituality, so, it actually does. It wouldn't be right to goto somewhere else in Society and Culture and ask about people in R&S, now would it?

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

I honestly did not know. English is not my first language. I thought Homophones was a spelling mistake of Homophobe. Which would make more sense in a Religion and Spirituality forum.
Since bad spelling has little place as a religious subject, I have no opinion on the matter save to say some people are critical of ANYTHING.......

The answers were amusing, but give him a break. The n is right next to the b on the keyboard.

The English language is a harsh mistress,but we love her so.

Apparently one of us doesn't know what a homophone is even when it is explained to him/her.
