English is an interesting language. People all around the world speak English and every country has its own way of speaking English. Some words in English are spoken differently and written differently. Some words starting with “Ho” like honestly, honorary, homage, etc. Are spoken without “H” while written with “H.” Homage is a very commonly used English word that means tribute, but it is spoken Omage. But Omage is the wrong word and you won’t find it in any dictionary. Let’s discuss more in this blog.
