Is that a word? If so, you're awesome. Now, let's all learn to count using homophones.Originally Posted by Kawaii Ryűkishi
One and won.
Two and to and too. (Bipper)
Three and free. (Psy)
Four and for and fore. (Rikku's Lover)
Five and phive. (Joel and Kentarou)
That's about it.
Except for bow and bough.
In Heir, the H is silent. >.>
Edit:
But Three has a TH sound at the beginning! Free has an F sound! =OThree and Free
Jester, Skyler.
And phonics starts with an F. Get crazy with the cheese whiz.
If Hair and Here sound the same, then <a href="http://www.snowy-day.net/stuff/mawma.wav">Maw and Ma</a> <a href="http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?ma000001.wav=ma">definitely</a><a href="http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?maw00001.wav=maw"> do.</a>Paw and paw are the same word.Paw, pour, pore and paw. The only 4 one
I R TEH BSET.
Hair, hare, hear and here is the only four-way homophone that I know of.
Maw and ma are most certainly different.
Oddler-- People from Arkansas are generally called Arkansans, despite anything Mark Twain might tell you.
"Ma" only sounds like "maw" with a southern (and by southern, I mean south of the Mason-Dixon line) accent. In reality (a little something I like to call NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line), they are not the same. "Here" and "hair" are most assuredly different, with the word "hair" taking on the sound of the word "air" with an extra "H" sound to begin with, whilst "here" is like the word "ear" with an "H" sound. However, "here" and "hear" are homophones.
In the word "heir," the H is silent. I don't know why, but it is, apparently.
All of these are assumed that you speak English without an accent, which is perfectly possible.
For those of you who don't believe that there are four-way homophones (because none of the ones mentioned thus far are four-way homophones), there is:
Too
To
Two
Tew
"Three" and "free" are not the same; one starts with a "TH" sound, and the other with an "F" sound. I could not find two sounds more unlike the other.

Way to be condescending to a group of people who happen to live below a certain latitude.
How do *YOU* say Ma and maw? I wasn't aware that the former was in contemporary usage anywhere outside of the Southern United States.
Ohh, no, did I forget to wrap my parentheses in sarcasm tags again? Too bad.
If I could find the symbols for short A and long A, I would post them. But to suffice:
Ma = mah
Maw = ma-uh, but in one syllable
Apparently, people enjoy adding an extra W sound after the former.
Ma can be used a bastardization of Vietnamese (ironically enough, the word for mom), or shorterned from Mama/Mother.

Hey people, bust out the microphones if you're going to post stupid stuff like this:I mean, honestly.
Edit: How I would say both ["maw" and "ma"].

Daniel: hair and here do not sound a like. You are crazy.
EDIT: also, maw and ma are also completely different.
You people are crazy.

Listen to Psy. I've even heard someone I worked with say them in exactly the same way.
Dialects are freaking great, right? Write?
"Cot" and "caught", only because there are freaks in this world who say those words differently.
I don't have a speech impediment. I had a linguistics professor from Texas who pronounced "sell" and "sill" the same. That's a speech impediment. We watched videos of people from the northeast US who pronounced "cheater" and "cheetah" the same.
You backwoods hick. Cot, hot - caught, bought."Cot" and "caught", only because there are freaks in this world who say those words differently.
