All these mentions of phones for homosexuals is making me lose faith in humanity... I won't even start on the fact that Mephistopheles apparently believes "homo" means "to hate".
I think homophones are fine, but I just wish people nowadays had enough intelligence to recognize one from the other.

I don't mind them, but I really hate when people use them incorrectly. I don't understand why people don't realize that there is a difference between "your" and "you're"- did they just forget to pay attention in their fifth-grade English class?

When used incorrectly, writing becomes more thought provoking.
"When I walk around in my bear feet... (my claws click on the floor) ... as I do sometimes when I check my male... (peeks down shorts, yup, still there)... ect."

They can make e-mails from non-native English speakers really entertaining.

Love 'em. They were a great part of my education growing up. They were my favorites.
