Heterographs
Heterographs are words that sound the same but are spelled
differently. This morning, while reading
about grammar (something I do on occasion because the struggle is real), I
chanced upon an astounding set of heterographs:
Air – stuff we
breathe
Heir – one who
will inherit
Err – to make a
mistake
Ere – eventually
E’er – contraction
of “ever”
Are – 1/100th
of a hectare
I don’t even want to begin touching on spelling here. I'm still wondering around in the are.
