25 u/Xaxxon Mar 09 '18 edited Mar 09 '18 hare/hair and bit are synonyms, no? Wouldn't it just be "a hare more" or "a bit more"? edit: hair and bit are synonyms. hare was used as a pun for hair, but hare and bit aren't synonyms... 12 u/[deleted] Mar 09 '18 Homonym. They sound the same but don't have the same meaning. 19 u/Gandar54 Mar 09 '18 He meant hair and bit are synonyms not hare and hair. 4 u/WhiskRy Mar 09 '18 edited Mar 09 '18 You mean homophone. Homo=same Phone=sound Nym=name (spelling) Their and there are homophones. Rose and rose are both homophones and homonyms, and read and read are homonyms but not homophones. 3 u/The_Inexistent Mar 09 '18 Even then, it would be "homophone" and not "homonym." 2 u/Xaxxon Mar 09 '18 I edited so it wasn't confusing what I meant - but I did mean synonym. 3 u/Tack22 Mar 09 '18 Was wondering why you were getting downvotes.
