        Do you know
     what a heterograph
             or
    a homophone is......??

     Also, do you know what
a homonym is?

    They are all very similar, but have subtle differences.

   I have used alot of them
in my "wacky" website!!

A heterograph is a word that sounds the same as another, but has a different spelling and meaning.

For example...

there is    "you" Quirky Cottages

And a female sheep is called a "ewe" Quirky Cottages

.
Both sound the same, but have different spelling and different meanings.

A homophone is....

When a word has the same sound, has the same or different spelling but means something totally different!

for example..

a plane Quirky Cottages

"plain" paper Quirky Cottages

then also, a plain, like in an a vast open field Quirky Cottages

And a homonym, has the same spelling, same sound but also means something diferent

For example...
A patient when used as a noun, is a person Quirky Cottages

who requires medical attention , like a pateint in hostpital.

Then there is also "patient"
which is an adjective that describes the calm temperament of a person. For example, a patient person is someone who can wait long periods of time for something, without complaining or getting upset.

This by the way, is a very good skill to learn!! It is very comforting and calming to be around patient people. Easy going and happy people are often very patient!!

A person who is impatient, (which means the opposite), often gets upset and angry Quirky Cottages

when they have to wait long periods of time for things or have to do things that take a long time!! It's certainly not realxing to be around impatient people.

There is a very old saying that I love,

GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!!!!

In my quirky website, I have used a lot of pictures
and photos instead of using words. I also have used many heterographs, homophones and homonyms and similar sounding words, using Quirky Cottages
