2. I wish I had paid more attention to that old weights and measures chart you posted here weeks ago. 4. Sample, ornamentation. 5. Bye, by, buy. 6. There, their. This is wear I get confused.🤔🤯
2. A gill is a quarter of a pint, so 1/32 gallon? Didn't spirits used to be sold in 1/5 gill? 3. a repeated pattern making up a larger image (as in branches of a tree) ? 7. Alexander Graham Bell has the patent!
5 and 6 were nasty one after the other as they're often chosen to use and English speakers understand both if educated. Some people try to differentiate by saying one is same pronunciation, the other "sounds the same", others say "same name" or "same sound" but end up in a confused mess.
As far as usage goes, they're the same. In teaching, homophone is definitely same sound, different meanings but homonym can be too. Two horrible questions side by side.
Opening the second last as opposed to the first of the two suggests to me that you believe that you are getting low on Garibaldis and need to get more soon.

DeleteIndeed. We called them 'dead fly biscuits', or more accurately 'Biscuits Fruit' from a GS Ration Pack (24 hours). Nice with a brew :)
A pattern can be a template
ReplyDeleteYes indeed.
