I… never knew.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Now, after a morning of research, I’m learning there is a whole class of words like this, known as ‘homophones’. It’s amazing.
What’s more, it looks like I might be the first person ever to mistype one when I meant the other! Linguistic history being made right here, folks. Boy, is there egg on my face though.
Anyway, in other news, I just bought a motorcycle from Craigslist. You all should come over later and check out my sweat new ride.
