Confusion Reigns Supreme with...
Homophonics
by Tom Horonzy
I try to avoid wasting my mind while enjoying wasting time, and likely yours, writing about things that mystify by authoring the following regarding homophonic words that sound the same but have different meanings versus (or is it versus v) homographic words spelled the same with different meanings.
In summary:
Homographs: Same spelling, different meaning.
Homophones: Same sound, different meaning.
Either of these homo-like words should not be confused with the subject that emerged in this late generation from the closest or distanced closet. Enough said. I'll move on. I remain dementedly confused.
For example, I once owned a peach orchard that produced such tiny, minute produce, day after day, minute after minute, that I attributed the genetic flaw of bearing small fruit to be attributes of lilliputian trees from the Isle Lilliput. If I hadn't seen the scene in the novel illustrated in Gulliver's Travels written by Author - Jonathan Swift.
Another instance that comes to mind is the carrot, measured in pounds, not karats. They grow thin to wide, upside-down, opposite of the punctuation mark - (^caret), which can be bought in Germany or Bosnia, if there, using marks which are their currencies. Otherwise, if near by you can buy them using dollars and cents which makes more sense to me, my being American.
Finally, while touring Scotland, I saw a man feeling ail sow a pint of ginger ale after downing a glass of Guinness instead of a mug of McEwan's. The Irish and Scots don't see aye to eye.
That's all I got this go 'round. "Farvel!" (A formal way of saying goodbye in Norwegian.)

This is another release of mystifying subject my mind continues to yield. So far, the reviews have been good, and 'til I am asked to stop the madness I'll try to make you smile again.
No need to critique grammatically, but if you feel an impulse to assess my competence, go for it.
As for this subject, are you as confused as this Honduran monkey when I spoke to him in English, and I wasn't even using homophonic speech?
