Lasty Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 You know what else is probably a coincidence? The fact that heroin and heroine sound almost identical if you don’t enunciate.

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.
