We'll start with homophones.

I hate homophones. I think they should all get some disgusting self-inflicted disease, then die, and rot in hell like the perverts they are...

I feel the same way about the words:

Hugh and Huge, Chad.

Hugh is a first name. As in the name Hugh Beaumont, who play Ward Cleaver on "Leave It To Beaver". Or Hugh Grant, who plays Hugh Grant. It is pronounced "HEW".

Huge means BIG. It's pronounce "HUJE".

I'm looking at my keyboard and there is no way that the far too often used phrase "This is Hugh!" for "This is Huge" could be a typo!

Don't even get me started on "There", "Their" and "They're"!!!

Jack.

"I hate homophones."

So, what are you, a heteronym?
