If you see my previous comment, I agree.

I think we may be on a merry-go-round .....

I did not say that Neville Heather did and I was commenting on her post.

I wouldn't classify such slight variations in vowel sounds ie. cod, god as sight rhymes. If they are then I've learnt something - I believed a sight rhyme was something like "have" and "grave" or "love" and "move" which have totally different vowel sounds.

God is interesting - as a word, not as an imaginary entity. The way it is said by Americans is how we would say "guard". Then there is the slang "gawd" as in Good Gawd! Then there is the whole family of Gourds . . . my point being, dunno maybe a homework prompt "guarding God's gourds"?

You're just a naughty boy Marty!
