Homonyms (or why I want to smack people)
Whilst wandering about the internet, I stumbled across something that made me see red for a brief moment.
Yes, someone said “mute point” again.
I know that none of you are so obnoxious as to wander about the net, abusing our rather interesting language.
But in case you forgot, I need to put this reminder out there.
Moot: Obsolete, irrelevant, no longer matters
Mute: Does not make sound, silent
Example: Incorrect word usage makes me mute with anger. I hope that someday this will be a moot issue.
