You would think the owner of a language enter would know that homophones and homosexuals are not the same thing. "People at this level of English," Woodger says, " … may see the ‘homo’ side and think it has something to do with gay sex." So would any native English speaking child in school learning about homophones. I bet this guy wrote a letter to his children's school asking them not to teach his children about homogeneous mixtures in chemistry because it might make them snicker.

quote:Nomen is Utah’s largest private English as a Second Language school and caters mostly to foreign students seeking admission to U.S. colleges and universities. Woodger says his school has taught 6,500 students from 58 countries during the past 15 years. Most of them, he says, are at basic levels of English and are not ready for the more complicated concepts such as homophones. oh ok this is one of those things i really cant believe

Why the gently caress do we send foreign students to Utah of all places to learn English? Well I guess if you come to the US to study and don't speak English already you're either retarded or from some dirt country.
