heterotrophic guilt 

The realization that no matter which diet you follow, you're still eating organisms that were alive at one point, and we have murdered them for our own benefit.

Apparently plants can think and remember? We're killing sentient beings! Crap! Dude, I'm feeling all kinds of heterotrophic guilt right now.

the use of different letters or a group of letters to represent the same sound(s). Some of the examples of heterography are: sEw and sOw, bEAt and bEEt and rOUgh and rUff.

Study the case of abominable vs. abonginable.

"I found that snow man you built to be quite abonginable especially when you put that black pipe in its mouth," Jack said.
"You really know how to use a heteromorph in a sentence don't you Jack," Jill responded.
