Just For Fun: Homophones

[RandyB]

Homophones are pairs of words that sound the same, but have distinctly different meanings and different spellings. Understanding homophones is an essential part of mastering the English language, both for vocabulary building and spelling. Here are a few common in the RV world.

Do (due, dew) you (yew, ewe) have (halve) some (sum) more?

Brake/Break
Ceiling/Sealing
Hole/Whole
Pedal/Peddle/Petal
Their/There/They're
To/Too/Two

And, spell-checkers feel free to stuff their version in wherever they please.

I'm to old to care, and two old too change. I resemble that remark.

Hey @RandyB I do admire your tact.
Back in the day, I had my Mom proof my articles for my information Web site. WOW that was a long time ago. She could easily find my grammar and spelling errors. She had no idea what I was saying. Me thinks that the content is much more valuable than the English twitch It is delivered. I will likely continue buying things from Amazon that the manual is in ??? well broken (almost) English.
