Also, please be civil this person was actually pretty chill about getting totally destroyed for this crazy take. I mostly just wanted to document this moment.

    I know that the words are different and have different meanings, and I know that some speakers pronounce them differently so I wouldn’t change the orthography now.

    My point is: let’s not be so conservative that orthography has to be fixed forever. If they become homophones, the orthography could change and they could be homonyms like so many others exist.
