Other words that sound the same but have two meanings are hump, shag, root and pork.

Naww ... resources is just a helpful bunch of recommended reading for those who like to do 'support help'... so when you're sending out 'official LiveJournal answers', you don't sound like an idiot *grins*

Forgive me, but that's not quite the same. What you're describing are hetronyms; words that have the same spelling but two meanings. While they're considered a subset of homonyms, they are not quite the same as the oft-miswritten homonyms on the linked page.

While many in the US are fine with heteronyms, there are moral questions regarding homonyms.

Pinch is a homonym, yes?

He tried to pinch some money from my purse, so I beat him with my pool cue.

I was in a pinch so I pawned my pool cue.

Although she knew the nipple was only one dimensional on the monitor, she tried to pinch it anyway.....


I support the grammar police! I hope they have doberman pinschers!
