    Absolutely not.
    I denounce the use of 'homonym,' 'homophone' and 'homograph' as another attempt by hetero-normative cisgenders to publicly shame all words that don't fit their fascist world view.

    This lawsuit is going to be a grammar nerd's dream. Expert grammar nerd witnesses. Tedious breakdowns of pronunciation and language of origin. Investigation of the context and the number of times this phrase has ever appeared in popular culture.

    It's the Scripps Spelling Bee meets Chopped.
