    I am sorry but an acronym is not the same as a word. RAM is an acronym and ram is a word. Judging by your initial example you are in error of your own game. No points given. :mad2:

    Not a big mistake but a chance to have some fun. Sour and sore are not pronounced the same. Your thread is fun.

    Humm ... that seems a bit of a stretch -- maybe it depends on the part of the country you're from.

    This is a perfectly valid sentense as it is, assuming you're speaking in the present.

    Now, if you are referring to a past event, then it would be "I lit a cigarette..."

    ...major distinction.

    But, I think you would have better results using a match to light that cigarette instead of using that beer. :devil:

    Now, on a related issue, I've always wondered why, when using the term "good food", the two words don't rhyme...:skep:

    Bin and been are pronounced the same. Bean is pronounced differently from bin and been.

    Whoa there: remember what I said about the part of the country (or world) you're from. I my neck of the woods 'been' and 'bean' are more alike and 'been' and 'bin' are different.

    Whoa there, I did ask him if he was a native English speaker. Sorry I have never heard anyone say "I have bean to the store".
