thank you for that lead leadie. I had not come across the term homophone before .Initially I had some strange misinterpretations going on .
too crass to elaborate upon here .
you are not excessively pedantic at all . .. . you are placing the language and its uses in the context and regard that all should aspire to, naturally.
will you proof read my next drafts of pulp fiction submissions to the publisher , (i.e. Mills and Boon)?

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning, and may differ in spelling. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two, and too.
