Some Glish words clash with existing monosyllable word #4

For example, the word floor and kink exist as a real, monosyllable words. Revolution and Kinda are non-monosyllable words that got truncated to aforementioned two words.

While "kink" is a word that may or may not exist depending on who and where you ask, you're probably right with floor. I assume the IPA has a different idea of how the "floor" of revolution ought to be pronounced 🤷🏻‍♂️

yeah, I think like https://github.com/paralogical/glish/issues/6, it's an issues with the IPA -> english-like spelling that makes it look the same. This would maybe go away if we respelled all the already monosyllabic words, but then it would be even harder to read.

I think revolution is "intended" by glish to be read like "flew-er", but the original english "floor" is more like "flor"
