English Class

Today, I learned that in Uganda the words hut, hat, and heart are homophones (sound the same but have different meanings/spellings). So are born and bone, first and fast, bird and bad, and cat and cut.
I also learned that said and called are two syllable words: "say-id" and "call-ed"
Good to know...

Yes, but do they think that "pen" and "pin" sound the same, like some Texans we know? ;)
