As sad as it may sound I collect words that sound the same but have different meanings. These strange, some would say annoying, words are called homophones. Anyway, I'm not sure what use this list is but I have included it here anyway - perhaps it will be o f use to people learning English. The words are organized alpha betically (well the two way homophones are) first in the set and then by the first word in the set. Four Way HomoPhones First Variation Second Variation Third Variation Forth Variation Notes Right Write Wright Rite  Not completely sure that the wr ight is a word. It's in dictionary.com though as a noun so it here it is. Three Way Homophones First Variation Second Variation Third Variation Notes Accent Ascent Assent Are Hour Our I don't have a problem with this one some people seem to confuse "Are" and "Our". I have seen these two words confused on a sign in a shop window which read "Try are lovely cakes". Aye (also ay) Eye I Buy By Bye Cite Sight Site Ewe (female sheep) You Yew For Fore Four Heard Herd Hurd  Not sure hurd counts as it is the name of an operating system kernel. There Their They're  Not sure this counts as they're is a co ntraction of they are  but it is listed at dictionary.com. To Too Two How ironic that there are three words that sound like two. Weather Wether Whether The last one is a common mis-spelling of the first and almost certainly not what the aut hor meant to write unless they are talking about castrated rams. Two Way Homophones
