Talk:homogeneity

is there a difference, and if so what, between somethings which are homogenous and somethings which are homogeneous? What is origin of the different spellings and or meanings? Regards, 129.67.17.233 03:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Homogenous implies internal consistency - so something homogenous is the same throughout; Homogeneous implies the same as something else, so two homogeneous things have something in common. I'm not sure where the different spellings come from though. Conrad.Irwin 11:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
