See why this concept can be so confusing to learn? • Wind: I need to wind the alarm clock so I can fly my kite in the early morning gusty wind. • Record: Please record the program when they try to beat the world record for word nerdiness. • Excuse: Please excuse this poor excuse for art.
Capitonyms • They are different words spelled the same except for the capitalization. Sometimes they are pronounced the same, sometimes they are not. • Turkey: I like to visit the country of Turkey and eat that American bird, turkey. • Mobile: My mobile phone ironically did not work in Mobile, Alabama. • May: In May, when spring is almost over, I may pack away my winter clothes. • March: On the Ides of March, we will march in the parade. • Polish.
