Extremely curious this morning about the longest words that are unrelated homophones.
Are there any three-syllable English words that sound the same but have different meanings and don’t share an origin??

@BryanDBender @KenBurns Same! Every quote from Celler in the doc comes across as the only voice of truth.

@AshleySchapitl I want statues of Celler! Schools named after him!

I highly recommend watching this. I’ve read and listened to a lot of history from this period and learned many new things about the 1930s in particular. It’s a shame we were never taught about Congressman Emanuel Celler in school. A real hero.

@AubryAndrews My Last Duchess did the same thing! This grew; I gave commands.

@Porkchop_EXP Six weeks in Austria in 1994. I ate whatever I wanted, drank plenty, and lost weight without trying. I’ve always attributed it to smaller portions and lots of walking.

I am very hesitant to assign obesity in the US to lifestyle.
Something is DEEPLY wrong with their food quality.
You know this because Europeans immediately gain weight in the US without changing their eating habits and lose the weight just as easily when back in Europe.

@cyclingtomfool @AubryAndrews I only think it’s fake because it’s so well written.
English
@AubryAndrews So why do so many people believe this can’t be real? There are enough women here and on other posts by @AubryAndrews that have related similar stories of creepy stalkers with no self awareness. We should believe them, period.
