I never thought about the other homophones we use Quote: to/too/two or there/their/they're but now that you mention it... Oh and I think Quote: chewsday is becoming more common because it is easier to say if you don't have the 'Hampshire Accent' (Queen's speech etc)...also lazier than to-use-day (apologies for terrible phonetics!)...and Quote: eem is generaly regional accent (often London) or is attached to phrases like 'go(t) eem' that are always said with the accent ----The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: bought/brought bexter #194541 12/03/2010 1:18 AM Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Faldage Carpal Tunnel Faldage Carpal Tunnel Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 13,803 Originally Posted By: bexter Oh and I think Quote: chewsday is becoming more common because it is easier to say if you don't have the 'Hampshire Accent' True, unless you pronounce it Toos day without the Y in there.

Not sure, but, in Dutch, glimlach means 'smile'; there's also a verb glimlachen 'to smile' (no doubt related to German lachen 'to laugh', English laugh). Branshea? [i\]Hasiye[/i] might be Urdu. It shows up in song titles in that language. Ceci n'est pas un seing.

It may be your phone Avy. Hasiye means smile too? I think the possibilities for making smilies with [] will be strictly within the range of what is provided in the box up here.
