Ha...I just thought this would be fun. I have a difficult time with homophones. Not all of them, just some, and in case you need a refresher course a homophone is :
a word pronounced the same as another but differing in meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air.
Now this is a lesson is one that you usually learn in the 2nd grade. But I obviously was not paying attention on those days. Here are two words that I commonly misuse:
through and threw....I can do all things THREW Christ whom strengthens me...hmmm no so good.
I am sure that there are others, but I can not think of them at the moment.
But I also have the habit of creating my own words. Such as squooze...
I squooze all the juice out of the orange.
Looks ridiculous , right? Well it wasn't to me, I even got into a discussion with my husband about this and had him prove to me that it wasn't a word my looking it up in the dictionary. I am sure that I am not the only person that has done this, I mean after all the wonderful Dr. Seuss was famous for creating his own words. Oh well, for now I will work on correcting my grammar until I can become famous for my own lingo too. Thanks April :)
