Homophones

The idea of the blog came from the correction of my mistake by Mr. Bijan to the word 'week' instead of 'weak'. The word homophone means one word that has the same pronunciation of another word or two, but they have a different meaning or spelling, such as the two words mentioned above, or (sun/ son), (too/ two), (sea/ see). Sun is the star which the earth orbits or revolves around it. While son means a boy or a man related or associated to both his parents. Too means so, likewise or to the higher degree. Two means this number "2" or more than one.  I made a terrible mistake when I was writing my last blog, love. I wrote this sentence (I was week). The word week refers to a period of seven or five days. Of course,. I meant (I was weak).  Weak here, as an adjective means lacking the power or the ability to perform physically. This is all because of love. Honestly, I was trembling when I wrote that sentence. My concentration was poor remembering those painful moments of my life. Nevertheless, that was not an excuse for me to make such a terrible mistake like that.  So please, watch out for homophones.

  • Spelling does'nt matter when the reader, who can understand your passage in a smooth way, in spite of having spelling errors.

  • Grazei Elena! You were right about it. It doesn't not make a lot confusion, but I wanted the reader to know something about homophones. Thanks a lot Elena.

  • Dear Dara, I didn't notice the mistake in your text, anyway it may happen but if the reader gets the meaning of the context, doesn't make confusion.
