"Dimension" and "dementia" are very similar sounding words

I mean, not really (I write stuff like "gonna" and "wanna" because that's how I actually talk), but I was also under the impression that heroin and heroine were supposed to be homonyms. 

Mmm.. not quite, at least I don’t think so. “Heroin” Sounds like “inn” at the end, whereas “heroine” sounds a bit like the other I sound like in “Inuyasha”. ...  Dunno why I couldn’t come up with a better example for that last one.

You mean "eenuyasha", like how an i would be pronounced in Japanese or Spanish?

Literally the only time I've ever heard it pronounced like that is when Stewie griffin mispronounced heroin (apparently) as heroine.

What if we changed it so it sounded like the “ine” in “tine”?
