For real though. Tough to get through.

English is not the only language with homonyms.

Soldier, plug, varnish, wax seal, some dude, seal?

Military, air filter, paint brush, wax seal, Mike Tyson, sea-lion!

Three of those are the same thing and the other three are named after each other

I don't get how English is hard. I learned it when I was just a kid.

Google for a poem called "The Chaos". It starts with "Dearest creature in creation". Read it out loud without errors.

Why use lot word when few word do trick?

Fun fact, the word 'set' has 430 definitions.

English is only "hard" because it is shit. There ain't no rules for nothing. All the "rules" have exceptions, which have exceptions, which have have exceptions.

Navy SEAL is an acronym. Doesn’t count.

Come on, you can't count Seal the musician... That's not a common name in English speaking countries. I've never heard of anyone else named Seal

English is easy. The hardest part about it, which some other languages also feature, is a poor correspondence between the written and spoken language.

Damn. I keep being surprised by how many people take stuff online way too seriously. Good meme, you get my seal of approval

But all the three non human non animal things basically do the same thing. They prevent things from leaking out or in. So the word seal is apt.

Through, though, hiccough, slough, bough, and cough don't rhyme

Count to two too many times

3 of those are basically the same definition. And one of them is just named after another one of them.

two are proper nouns, so dont count. three mean 'to close something' (more or less). one is an animal.

i see really only two homonyms in total.

The lack of Lucille jokes here has me worried about the future of Lemmy

Sealy language

For real seal though.

I don't get the first row, somebody feel like helping me out? Lol

i didn't understand this at first

English sucks ass and it's all the fault of people who pronounce the word "avove" with two distinct vowel sounds like weirdos.

(Jk jk I don't mean it please don't hurt me wedge/schwa distinguishers.)

Pretty sure seals were named after seals.

If you'd like to have your mind blown by something you haven't ever thought that hard about before in your life, sit down and try to come up with a list for all the definitions and use contexts for the word "set."

Oh, it ain't easy, but it sure is fun :)

English is not hard. Nobody uses seal but me.

Found the Pat McAffee fan.

I put my seal on the letter, he got it wet, and Seal couldn’t read it.
