She's still a homophone; Reid sounds exactly like "read".



Isn't that the point though? She wasn't a homophone in the past.


"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.


:) Might just be my pronunciation, but Reid only sounds like the present form.


Is the use of the word "homophone" some in-joke that I'm not aware of?
