Hello everyone! quick question...
please give me your opinions / point of view on the homonyms right and write...
for those of you who dont know homonyms are two words that sound the same but have different meanings; such as right vs write. please answer my question!
thanks :)

My personal faves are There, Their and They're

What opinion can we give? The are totally different in meaning.

What is your question? How would an opinion on a homonym look like?

@ma0641 what do you think of the homonym. Like just describe it and tell me stuff about it. I need the internets point of view for a school report due 5:00 am... @teacherjenn4

Your question makes no sense. How can there be an opinion about two words that sound the same but are spelled differently?

You need the Internet's pov? C'mon!

In writing, they are easily told apart because of the spelling.

In verbal usage, they are also easy to tell the difference because of the tone and the normal and common usage of both.

They are only difficult to someone who has English as a second language and has not learned enough English to determine the difference within the usage

The nose knows which nose knows which witch knows which witch.

Don't forget my favorite two, to and too

And I'm a teacher. Poor me.

Homonyms and any other word are just words. Context is what you need as in reading/listening to the whole sentence that conveys meaning. To understand and be understood you must know the correct words to use whether verbally or written.
