My mother reportedly read
aloud for 30 minutes a day while I was incubating in her womb. The research
wasn’t out yet about reading aloud and talking to the fetus on a regular
basis—so I have no idea what prompted her to do that. Nevertheless, my brain’s
opinion is all that reading (and talking and singing and playing the piano)
resulted in a built-in love of words that accompanied me when I slipped out the
chute. Consequently, I’ll finish out this year’s blogs with some fun words. As
you probably know, Homographs are words
that are spelled the same but that have more than one meaning. Heteronyms represent Homographs that are
pronounced differently. Have fun with them.
- To
help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
- The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
- The bass player credits his competence to his love of poached bass.
More tomorrow.
