  Now look at the word read/lead... well I did... and then interpretated their usage based on the following sentence. Funnily, I actually tried to look for both of the words elsewhere within your post to try to answer your question Nudie.I read they're over there with their lead. Yes there's a lot of interpretation and understanding required on many levels.Gotta love the English language.

  The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.I work with off-shore teams that speak English as a second language. I've had to learn to be very correct and precise in communications, particularly when speaking Australian.While it can certainly be a bit of fun, the ambiguity is a constant challenge for those new to the language.Oh Freya, funny, but I prefer to be led to the bedroom.Mr C

Love it! thanks Freya There was a light wind that had just begun to blow,i raced out in the half light only to receive a blow on the head from a branch that had fallen. The tear in my shirt brought a tear to my eye, how did that happen....the bow got caught on the bow.

  is what matters to me., and my grasp of english is pretty rudimentary.   I am so aussie, that I didn't pay much attention to reading about it, I just read heaps of books, many multiple times.   Not a speed reader, mostly just for fun, Prepositions MEH... Jane Austen , bad day for me..at the insistence of my then g/f...   Herge and tintin Swallows and Amazons when I was kid Now I like hard sfi fi, Banks, Reynolds, Brin mostly because I don't see much hope if we don't get off the planet...   Mike

I did this as i have noticed some homonyms in various posts that i have read,which of course led me to read them again... I am sure that you can think of some more to add

  Reasons why the English language is so hard to learn: 1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 2. The farm was used to produce produce. 3. The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse. 4. We must polish the Polish furniture. 5. He could lead if he would get the lead out. 6. The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert. 7. Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present. 8. A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum 9. When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes. 10. I did not object to the object. 11. The insurance was invalid for the invalid. 12. There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row. They formed a row on the side of the canoe. 13. They were too close to the door to close it. 14. The buck does funny things when the does are present. 15. A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line. 16. To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow. 17. The wind was too strong to wind the sail 18. After a number of injections my jaw got number. 19. Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear. 20. I had to subject the subject to a series of test 21. How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend? There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Quicksand works slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it? Is it an odd, or an end? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. And they say Dutch is hard...

I changed it again recently to MrsPeachyPare for an added twist recently. One pear plus one pear makes a pair that we will pare for eating later. Peachy
