The Daily Mail (U.K.) reports a language teacher in Provo, Utah, was fired for discussing homophones on his blog. As COTTonLINE readers know, homophones are words which sound alike but have different meanings, examples: to, too, and two; sea and see.
His boss, whose ignorance should keep him miles away from any school, thought the teacher was promoting a gay agenda. He may have been, for all we know, but "homophone" does not exemplify that agenda. Instead, it illustrates a reason English is difficult to learn.
