    Another example of why I hate English spelling.

    There should be two words: stingy and stingey.

    Better yet, after I’m made King of England, I’ll change all soft G’s to J’s.

    And don’t get me started on “read” and “lead”.

    Though I yearn to say more, before the bough breaks, enough already.

    pschearer: “stingee” would work too. Do you mean “red” and “led”? How about Gnu?

    This joke falls on deaf ears like a lead balloon.

    Read aloud, please. “I silently read the teacher’s instructions to read the class the article concerning the man who was chosen to lead the parade to the lead mine.”

    After I learned Spanish (not fluently), I realized how odd English could seem to a non-native speaker; from a Spanish point of view the words tough, rough, trough, though, through (and maybe thorough) should all rhyme.
