Basically, there were a bunch of clues, and the students were supposed to list the two homonyms that went with that clue. Example: "naked furry mammal" would be "bare bear."
That little school assignment got me thinking about how many homonyms exist in the English language. (There are tons!) Below are seven of them. Can you think of more?
1. more, moor
2. ark, arc
3. male, mail
4. feet, feat
5. there, their
6. meat, meet
7. real, reel
Have fun, Princess Cyndi

So I'm just catching up on the blog after being out of town, but I thought of an appropriate homonyn for the PC blog....sail, sale :)
bale, bail
pale, pail
ate, eight
insure, ensure
pear, pare
bean, been (if you have a Brit accent)
I loved this assignment in school...
