Since we all love words.
Pick a word you have trouble with, or you've seen misused because it's the wrong spelling of the homonym.

Are those homonyms Gresta? Or just alternate spellings.

You are right Oz. They are verbs and nouns. Not really homonyms.

I am surprised Bratty did not come up with
you / ewe / yew
Amongst the ones I love to hate, or is that hate to love, are
broach / brooch
cite / site / sight
sensor / censer / censor
navel / naval
discrete / discreet
cannon / canon
for this site...
soar / sore
whacks / wax
and just for you Oz....
ohhhhs / ooze
ouch.....my head hurts now, this is the stuff with which a dyslexic's nightmare's are filled.

omg i could give you a list a mile long of homophones that make me cringe when people misuse them.
right/write
week/weak
course/coarse
rap/wrap
pole/poll
peek/peak
board/bored
and here are a couple that aren't really homophones but have nearly the same pronounciation and i've seen them misused lots.
accept/except
affect/effect"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering."
