faraway saint Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Just seen the word "row" in another thread and on it's own has more than one meaning. The English language must be a nightmare for foreigners to learn, and some non foreigners. How many words "sound" the same but have different meanings or are spelt differently? The example above..................... row: a line of things/people row: to propel a boat row: a quarrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo has the verb and the noun meaning but doesn't have a completely different mean , like the way that "rose " or blind would have . .

RickMcD Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Leak.................... Leek............... I once heard of a young fella who stuffed a big leek inside his jeans for 'effect'.
