   I no longer buy into a twisted mythology that has been written and rewritten over thousands of years by men in power to keep men in power, AND was based on mythologies before it. Your mythology posits a Supreme Being who, knowing all from the beginning of time, gave humans “free will,” then forbid them to use it by NOT eating from the Tree of Knowledge. SO, free will or not, predestination or not, this benevolent being KNEW how “his” creation would play out. The mythologies contained in ANY religious tome are inconsistent and contradictory, and each reflects the time in which it was forged.

   Oh, yeah. . .and my sister has got another “move” this administration will try: they’ll close all the gov’t agencies down, then find out what a mess they’re in. They will then start private for-profit “agencies” to do all the things the gov’t did, and hire the gov’t employees they fired—at half the salary.

   Huh! never mind a messiah! What kind of gawd—who claims to know all and see all till the end of time—goes ahead and “creates” a universe and a species that will destroy itself???? Not a benevolent one or one that “loves” all his children. . .really, folks, ya need to fix the myth. . .

   Whatever. . .I’m an English major, as well as retired writer-researcher-editor. I researched the differences on the web as the definitions shifted/became MUCH more concise over the years of my career. I’m not going to get into an argument: I just always enjoy the flexibility and richness of the English language.

   Those kinds of words are called homophones — in Latin, “same sound.”

   We’re getting freezing temps again Wednesday (it was 83 degrees daay before yesterday). Everything in my yard/garden frozen EXCEPT the weeds!

    Thanks for the homonym to add to my list. Homonym: a word that has two or more totally unrelated meanings, and functions as different parts of speech. “Check” can function as a verb (to stop or to mark) or a noun (a mark or a piece of paper for an amount of money), and, if you add -ed, an adjective (a decoration consisting of alternately colored squares or rectangles). Doncha just LUV English? P.S. At least, with your spelling of “cheque,” you don’t need context to tell you that the word is a noun.
