Patriot is by no means ignorant. At least he knows the difference between a homonym and a synonym.

Knell and nail aren't homonyms and clip and magazine aren't synonyms, so what's your point?

You guys are all fruit loops? We incorrectly called them clips the entire time I was in the service, because it is a single syllable word and the military likes things that way. But, carry on with your snobbish rant, and superior education, from reading all those Guns and Ammo magazines, if it makes you feel better.

#1. Re: homonym

As I said:

More like a homonym (or near-homonym) is not the synonym of a synonym.

Depending on one's accent, the words could indeed sound identical (which is the meaning of "homonym.")

#2. Re: synonym, in particular using "clip" as a synonym for "magazine"

The term "clip" is also frequently used to refer to a detachable magazine, though such usage is controversial.

(The source of that particular Wiki info is the NRA, among others.)

#3. Synonyms don't have to have identical meanings

syn·o·nym

[sin-uh-nim]

noun

1.

a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as happy, joyful, elated. A dictionary of synonyms and antonyms (or opposites), such as Thesaurus.com, is called a thesaurus.

2.

a word or expression accepted as another name for something, as Arcadia for pastoral simplicity or Wall Street for U.S. financial markets; metonym.

3.

Biology . one of two or more scientific names applied to a single taxon.

I have lots of respect for our military, but I don't think that claiming a superior grasp of the English language based on your service is a very strong argument.
