Outopia and Eutopia are only homonyms in English. They are?? Gosh, I would say the first one as oo-topia and the second as yew-topia. Oops. the man said "English", J, not Kentuck. That's "Kaintuck", Mr. Yankeeboy.

Oh, dear. But you also say it as two syllables.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.

If there was a IX there must have been an XIII. (maybe more that never made it to a public post)(the hidden Henries)

tuckspeak I love it!  Oh, dear.  But you also say it as two syllables. Well, I personally don't; not usually anyway. Ee-yuht is pretty much mountainspeak. Louisville's on the northern border, in the Ohio River valley*. We're practically Yankees. (Oh my heavens, what have I said?!) *Lovely for one's sinuses. Not.

Good question. I guess I made my pledge to Henry but my heart was for Louis.

Outopia and Eutopia are only homonyms in English. In both Classical and Modern Greek they have distinct pronunciations. A friend of More's, Erasmus, also had a punning title in his Moriae encomium "In Praise of Folly", with The Latinized Greek Moria standing in for Sir Thomas' surname. It was published a few years before More's Utopia. First: This is in the AWADmail issue 441. Second: Only now I saw it was me  who startet the confusion with the Henrys by numbers. I will delatinize my numbers and the future only speak of Henry the Fifth and Louis Treize.
