Why has The Idiot become increasingly homonymic and/or homophonic?
Why is he instantaneously barraged with multiple meanings and mixed images when he hears, reads or thinks any word that is pronounced the same way as another?
To give you an idea of his wordsening (sic) condition, this is what happens when The Idiot comes into contact with the words iPad, palm, cache, waist, basketry, seashell and charity.
When he hears, reads or thinks iPad, he sees…
When he hears, reads or thinks palm, he sees…
When he hears, reads or thinks cache, he sees….
When he hears, reads or thinks waist, he sees…
When he hears, reads or thinks basketry, he sees…
When he hears, reads or thinks seashell, he sees…
When he hears, reads or thinks charity, he sees…
You probably get the idea and the list of words and odd visions is never ending.
Please let The Idiot know if you “enjoy” a similar predicament or can explain why he’s becoming so homonymic/homophonic.
