Um professor americano de língua inglesa foi despedido depois de se ter referido, no seu blogue, às palavras “homófonas”. O dono da escola (privada) alegou que o prefixo “homo” da palavra “homófono” poderia ser confundido com “homófobo”.
“A social media specialist for a Utah language school that teaches English to non-native speakers says he was fired for writing a blog post about homophones—words that sound the same, but carry different meanings—because his boss was afraid readers would think it was about "gay sex."
