Words Spelled The Same But With 2 Meanings

[eyeretinaeye]

Spectacles - something you wear to see better with or an event that you watch from afar

Ordnance - military provisions or a law put in place to hand out parking tickets

Good show. You've managed to screw up the thread in the very first post. You're special.

Ordinance is "a piece of legislation enacted by a municipal authority" ... ordnance is "military weapons, ammunition, and equipment used in connection with them.".

I think he should have stopped with spectacles.

Smack - to hit or, a substance you buy on the street and get high with.

This thread could on forever. Half the words in the dictionary have more than one meaning.

What many people on Lit need some schoolin' on are the words that sound the same but are spelled differently. They're and their, for instance. Too many of the retards here have trouble with that one. To and too. Your and you're. For fuck's sake, I've even seen are used in place of our. And those don't sound the same.

I'm going to hate myself in the morning, I know, but I have to agree with you here. I can forgive it in a casual conversation here on the forums, but crap like that makes me mad when you see it in a story. I'm probably guilty of it myself, too.

The boobs that makes me the most upset are the ones that confuse the words "then" and "than". The boobs that write something in a story like:

"But my dick was bigger then his."

*sigh*
That might *almost* be right, if the person were sorting penises from largest to smallest...

I've also seen people use "been" instead of "being". How's this for upsetting:

Your been more stupid then him.

Grammar hijacking: coming to a thread near you

You know what's sad? My internet translate-o-meter actually started to untangle that one.
Must be a reflex.

Where I live, most people pronounce the word 'BEING' the same way they pronounce the word 'BEAN'.... so I'm kind of used to this one. Don't get me wrong, it still pisses me off, but my mental hardware does the auto-spell-correct without alerting me. *shrug*
I had to read your sentence four times before I caught all the problems with it.
