Cat-e-gory: Homophones (words that sound like other words with other spellings)
This enchanting Halloween icon is also an adjective used when asking about "a particular one."
Isn't that "homophone"? Homonyms are spelled the same but pronounced differently, I think, like "record."
ReplyDeleteLove the last line, btw!
Darn ya, you're right! I goofed.
ReplyDeleteI would make a cheap joke about a homophone, but it wouldn't reflect my real outlook, so you can make one up on your own.
I'll take Rated R, please!
ReplyDelete1. What is tick / trick?
2. What is brat / bat?
3. What is gave / grave?
4. What is teat / treat?
5. What is boor / boo?
6. What is boom / broom?
