Examples: virulent, vitriolic, vituperative, voracious, violence, vendetta, etc. Is this some kind of code? I don't mean in a paranoid Da Vinci Code way, but in a coded linguistic paradigm sense.

I don't mean homophone that the words just sound the same. For a homograph the word needs to sound the same and be spelled the same... but mean something different.

Right now I am very much liking this excerpt from Le Petit Prince:
""And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.""

Not exactly "poetry" but an accumulation of words put together to create the beauty of knowledge and realization of what really matters in life.

Which is grammatically correct?

2006-11-20 09:16:18 · 9 answers · asked by Burnt Toast 1

The idea fo rthis thread was a conversation about the sound od "AX" pronounced instead of "ASK" which is pronounced more like "AsK" with the "S" nearly silent OR the "K" and the "S" have switched places like AKS, Another example would be words which are already plural having "S's" added onto them such as "People's" when referring to more than one person. Or common mispronounciations of words within the culture that rarely happen outside of the culture (90% of the time I am sure the user knows that it is wrong but chooses to use it as a way to connect with the African American listener as a type of emphasis similar to Spanish mixed with an english sentence to emphasize a point between two Spanish speaking people) Examples of this phenomenon are an "SK" sound used for some words beginning with an "ST" sound like "Skraight" for Straight and "Skreet" for Street.

Believe it originated from an episode when the local people were unhappy with their treatment by Captain Boycott, the local landlord. They decided to ostracise him.
I believe he cracked under the strain and left his estate to become an absentee landlord.
Does anybody have any meaningful details or is the story just fictional?
