How do you wreck a nice beach?

Hey guys! This is another thread of learning!

So you wanna speak english the way americans speak huh? The thread title is actually "HOW DO YOU RECOGNIZE SPEECH?" but it is pronounced as "HOW DO YOU WRECK A NICE BEACH?"

This is what we refer as "ORONYMS"

What's an Oronym?

Oronyms (or homophones) are words which sound the same. Generally the word homophone is used to describe one of a pair or group of words that have the same sound (like prince and prints; allowed and aloud), whilst oronyms are normally strings of words (phrases) such as iced ink and I stink.

Some zamples:

• Jose can you see by the donzerly light?
  [Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light?]
• It's a doggy-dog world.
  [It's a dog-eat-dog world.]
• Eugene O'Neill won a Pullet Surprise.
  [Eugene O'Neill won a Pulitzer Prize.]

There is a well-known poem called Eye Halve a Spelling Chequer (I Have a Spelling Checker) that written almost entirely with homophones. It could be considered an oronym poem:


Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
