Difference between Pbonemes and Crapbemes

Phonemes: s a sound or a group of different sounds perceived to have the same function
by speakers of the language or dialect in question. An example of a phoneme is
the /k/sound in the words 9 and 8.
n a language or dialect, a phoneme is the smallest segmental unit of sound employed to
form meaningful contrasts between utterances.
So a phoneme is an atom of pronounced language.
