I swear on a stack of Bibles AND a stack of Torahs, I did NOT post this from the Onion. Un *BLEEPING* believable.

[jim999]

Well that’s what you get for engaging in public intercourse.

[Fiji Hill]

Un *BLEEPING* believable.

No, it isn't. Considering how dumbed down modern America has become, it is completely believable.

[RJS1950]

Sounds like the guy who was raked over the coals for using the term niggardly to describe a budget increase by an ignorant black official who didn’t know the meaning or origin of the term.

[RJS1950]

The homo part of the word was politically charged????

What about homo sapiens, or homologous, or homogenized, or homonym?

What a bunch of ignorant wankers.

[chajin]

Reminds me of the apocryphal politician who was said to have declared that his opponent's wife had been a thespian before their marriage...here

[Oliviaforever]

I would not be surprised if Tim Torkildson’s daughter were a thespian.

Tim Torkildson says after he wrote the blog on the website of his employer, Nomen Global Language Center

What did expect, working for a feminist lot.

[Swordmaker]

Mr. Torkildson's employer obviously is suffering from LCD which is also known as LABA.

From the Freeper addendum to the ICD-10:

321.0 SPLAT Liberal Cerebral Defenestration (LCD) or Liberal Acquired Brain Absence (LABA), Complete loss of rationality, cognition, and cerebration due to indiscriminately keeping one's mind so far open that the brain falls out. First and subsequent encounters.

[Henry Hnyellar]

Obamaphone, homophone. It’s easy to get confused.

[MichaelCorleone]

***As Torkildson tells it, Woodger said he could not trust him and that the blog about homophones was the last straw.***

From this is seems like Torkildson was on thin ice to begin with. And he wasn't trusted to boot.

When they want to get rid of you, any excuse will do.

[gaijin]

The DC bureaucrat who was FIRED for describing a budget as being “niggardly”:

His defense was as depressing as the attack:

His ENTIRE defense was, “I am a homosexual”. Not, “niggardly is a REAL WORD”, and not, “The SOUND of words should be outweighed by their actual MEANINGS”. Just identity politics.

I mean that both the attack and also the defense resorted AT NO POINT to logic-based arguments.

My understanding is that some time later this brave, articulate homo was re-hired, so….there was a happy ending?

Sorta, I guess.

O know! Eye am becoming homophonophobic!

[Larry Lucido]

Our EWE a homophone??

[TChad]

Nomen Global Language Center, http://americasenglishlanguageschool.com/, teaches English as a second language (ESL). Their motto is "English Will Take You Higher."

Nomen owner Clarke Woodger should take some of his own classes.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Homophones...people who speak faggot.

[Gene Eric]

>> Nomen Global Language Center, his boss and Nomen owner Clarke Woodger

There seems to be a fundamental phonetic problem with this operation.

[VerySadAmerican]

Witch and which? Ask Stewey Griffin. He knows how to pronounce “which”. It’s the same way he pronounces “cool whip”.

[Wicket]

There was a case a few years ago where someone was fired for using the word niggardly and later reinstated. Honest to Pete I wish people would use their heads for something other than to keep their ears apart.

Homophonia = Is when don’t despise Gays but could care less what they do..
