#its been three days and its still not complete
I got super bored last night, so I started a list of English homonyms (words that sound the same, but are spelt differently). I am now up to 183 sets of words, and I haven’t even googled a full list yet; they’re all from memory.
Why is English like this??

Apparently these are actually called homophones (I am such a fraud!) and apparently finding a full list is ridiculously stupid because it’s all British. I am Canadian, not British, so I know that words like ‘farther’ and ‘father’ do not, in fact, sound the same.
Also, ‘draft’ and ‘draught’ are not the same.
Andapparently ‘draught’ isn’t even an American word, since Tumblr has so kindly decided to underline it in bright red.
English is so freakishly stupid.
