Siting frequent misuse and unfare treatmint, representatives of the National Association of Homophones (NAH) announced a strike Tuesday. Several words once available in the vast English language will now bee out of circulation four an undetermined amount of thyme.
"This is a massive problem," said Dr. Thomas Yonk, a professor of letters at Sesame University. "I don't no how I'm going to grade all of these English 101 papers. Their bad enough without this setback." Book publishers are likewise fretfull. An employee of Puffin books who wished two remane anonymous commented, "Don't they sea what this is going two do two us? Kids are going to be reeding our books and learning the wrong dam words!" Many other businesses our expected two sea negative affects, especially the hare care industry.
No one nose how long this strike will last, butt experts are predicting at leased six two nine months. "We need two tow the line four awile," says Ian Hogglestooth, Bored Chair of the National Association Of Words (NAW). "This is knot only about equal opportunity for Homophones. Their our hurt feelings hear. Saying we're sari is the first step in the write direction."
It's likely the strike will have little affect on e-male and texting, wear bad spelling is all butt status quo. Likewhys, speechwriters, politicans, TV news anchors, and actors were unphased by news of the strike. Homographs of America (HOA) spokespeople said, "We don't get what the big deal is."
Though reaction is mixed, everywon agrees this is an unprecedented occurrence. When, indeed if, the strike comes to a clothes, expect big changes. Rumor has it that the Homphones our already working on a Bill Of Writes that includes the dictum "All Homophones were created equal, and should bee used as such." There's even talk of alternate pronunciations, which would affectively end the Homophone as we no it.
"It's going to be a reel battle," Hogglestooth predicts. "The English speaking population has maid their bed and now they can't pen the blame on anywon else." He adds ominously, "If the Homophones are wrestless, the Synonyms can't bee far behind. It's in hour best interest to keep them happy and content, or we'll all have trouble, distress, woe and misfortune."
