Dear Readers,
Don't ya love a word that sounds like another? The heir/air. The flour/flower. The alter/altar. The beech/beach. The peak/peek. The pore/pour/poor. These words are known as homophones, as distinguished from homonyms. Although, these examples are also homonyms! There is some overlap; if it sounds indistinct, you can explore the differences, and check out the less commonly sighted/cited/sited third sister: homograph! What a wonderful world of words we live in! And, here is your song of the day!
