The things one thinks of in the shower.
Ok, so my partner is Vietnamese, and their language is difficult to master due to one word might have five meanings depending on how it is said and in what context. Typical far eastern language.
But English as we know likes to break its own rules and have a few words that sound the same, spelt differently with different meanings.
What came to mind:
Pour
Poor
Pore
Paw
I can think of several differing meanings for those four words that basically sound identical (perhaps you are American and really push the "r" sound, but that is another conversation about "English!")
Can anyone think of some more obscure words like this?
