I only just realised that second (2nd) and second are homophones

Am I mentally retarded?

You are retarded for two reasons:

1. Not realising they sound the same
2. Not realising they're not actually homophones. Homophones are two words that sound the same but spelt differently. Second (2nd) is spelt exactly the same as second (one second)
