You're not wrong. Her blog is tame compared to some of the comments I see DAILY in ANY subreddit on reddit.
What Joy SHOULD have done was admitted that she "used" to be a homophone, and apologized.
- apetresc 8y agoShe's still a homophone; Reid sounds exactly like "read".
- accoil 8y agoIsn't that the point though? She wasn't a homophone in the past.
- kleiba 8y agoIs the use of the word "homophone" some in-joke that I'm not aware of?
- pchristensen 8y ago"homophone" - each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling, e.g., new and knew. "homophobe" - a person with an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality and homosexual people. Just a little joke about a linguistic mixup.
- accoil 8y ago:) Might just be my pronunciation, but Reid only sounds like the present form.
- Dangeranger 8y agoI agree. The better narrative would be to say: "This is who I used to be, there were many people like me at the time, but my views have evolved and I've become close friends with many of the people that my words hurt. I'm sorry and I work every day to make up for these mistakes." Actions speak louder than words.
