FYI, Eye dew inn fact no that frijoles is spelled with a jay. This was just won more example of how aye have problems with homonyms when righting fast. It’s bin chained.

Note: “Chained” is pedant bait.

Update: From a snarky reader who, nonetheless, catches me in a mistake:

“Friholes” is not a homynym for “frijoles”, no matter how fast you were typing.
To quote Websters a homonym is “one of two or more words spelled and pronounced alike but different in meaning”. “Friholes” is not a word, therefore it is not a homonym.
So what have we learned today? We have learned that Mr. Goldberg 1) does not know how to spell “frijoles”, 2) does not know what a homonym is, and 3) is as incapable of admitting a mistake as is his president.

Update II: From another reader:

Live by the snark, die by the snark:
A quick google (or dogpile) of “friholes” brings up over 10 pages,
including a business that uses that spelling. I would say that makes
“friholes” a word, and not even a hapax. Indeed, according to
Webster-Online, “frihole” is found in the Chamorro language.
However”frijoles” and “friholes” are not “one of two or more words
spelled and pronounced alike but different in meaning”. The meaning is
the same (refried beans). What your snarker was looking for may have
been synonym, (American College Heritage Dictionary, Definition 2: A
word or expression accepted as a figurative or symbolic substitute for
another word or expression.) Or, more simply, “alternate phonetic
spelling”
So what have we learned today? We have learned that master snarker 1)
has a narrow, imperialistic view of languages, 2) does not know what a
homonym is, and 3) does not realize that Al Gore’s invention makes it so
much easier to catch them in pulling a fast one.

Me: I should not because it makes me feel good that the previous snarking emailer turned out to be stupendous pest in subsequent emails so this email is particularly welcome.
