Hi.
I'm new to this group. I would like to say that over in ok.general they're explaining things like a recent subject heading
My monthly tear(rhymes with wear)
I'm assuming the person over there who was explaining that tear rhymes with wear
thinks we're all too stupid to understand that tear rhymes with wear. When I asked what they thought we were going to think tear rhymed with they gave the following explanation
It's 2 words, both spelled the same. Could rhyme with either beer or bear.
Make sense now?
Now I know that tear rhymes with wear. Sometimes. Sometimes if it's tear it rhymes with we're. I thought if two words were spelled the same but had different meanings that they were homonyms.
I'm not sure why someone would think I would think they would have a monthly tear(rhymes with beer...beer being their example.) I would always think it was a monthy tear(rhyming with bear, again their example.) Unless of course they always had a good cry monthly. Like in the song,
My tears are falling
cause you've taken her away
And though it really hurts me so(sew)
there's something that I've gotta
say
(can't remember the whole first stanza)
Take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just tell her that you love her
Make sure you're thinking of her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time(thyme)
that little girl was mine
if I'd been true
I(eye) know
she'd never be with you
So take good care of my baby
Be(bee) just as kind as you can be(bee)
And if you should discover
that you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home
to(two, too)
me
I also know the words to the song about there's a tear in my beer.
If you could help with this in any way I would really appreciate it.
Specifically is this a homonym type situation?

Strictly speaking, homonyms are two different words with the same spelling and pronunciation. "Ounce" the unit of weight and "ounce" the snow leopard are homonyms two undrelated words, same spelling, same pronunciation. "Lead" the metal and "lead" the verb are not homo

I think several tears at least monthly is a good thing clears the sinuses, gets rid of all that repressed sadness, makes you feel a lot better.

Yes I ask and answer all my own questions now.
Sometimes they let me out during the day to swing
back and forth back and forth. But only if I've been behaving myself.
I looked up heteronym and holograph and when I found myself sitting there almost getting the difference I went...Wait a minute...stop stop stop...

Soundex code B600.
At least that's the way I learned it. The rules given at

would make it B-600.
