Homonym Fun
You and Your Wiseacre Spell Check

Homonym Silliness

This page about homonyms (or "Paige") wasn't so easy to do. Not only did I need to use as many as could reasonably fit, I also had to keep within the theme of "writing with the help of a spell checker."

First, I had to find a good list of these pesky little troublemakers, and I did at Alan's Homonym List. Thank you, Alan.

And Voila! Here are some of the screwy things that can afflict your spell check and your best intentions. That same spell checker that we all rely upon to catch our gaffes (if you prefer, gaffs - which is something else entirely). Homonyms are not always easy to spot - that's why you need another set of eyes.

And, believe it or not, every word below passed the spell check.

1

Eye no about the spell Czech
And I ewes it awl the thyme,
But that won't cache the homonyms
Ore fix this offal rime.

2

This Paige is awl about those words
That byte ewe in the but
Bye sneaking threw the spell Czech
Just to reck your righting up.

3

I rite reel good; was tot in skull
To mind my peas and queues
Butt spelling philters still illude
And bate my wherry mews.

4

That spelling Czech, it seams to live
Two mach that mews of mine
And at its wurst, its aweful -
Just plane mien when err aye rime.

5

Eye billed a Paige so carefully
At leased aye think eye due
Its awl in vane because, ewe sea
Sum sleight miss steaks cum threw.

6

Eye ewes the Czech four spelling
Shirley every thyme eye right
It never seams to help me much
Two bettor my incite.

Too much computer "face time"? That's funny.
