Well after reading that very informative article by Threads, I’ll never think of sewer as a place underground full of yucky stuff again. It’ll be like close (I firstly think of something near me rather than something getting smaller as in closing up) and resent - I always think of send again rather than being unhappy with something. Actually once I start thinking about this, there’s a lot of words in the written form that I immediately think of in only one meaning and I’m not sure why. Even in my head I say close differently to close - hope you know what I mean!
I suppose I mostly think of seamstress, but I know it’s gender biased, so Perdita, do you think of yourself as a sewer or a sewist or a seamstress? Or is that only if it’s your profession? Like tailor?
