Homophones (Mini #42)

Are you using the right word? In our text -heavy world, it's easy to use the wrong version of a homophone. What are homophones? Homophones are words that sound the same but are spelled differently, like two, two, and two. How this works is, I'll give you a clue and you give me the homophone. I won't make you spell it. If you're curious about the spelling, you can see this show's transcript on dorkygeekinerdy .com. That covers the setup, so let's go! Number 1. The bottom of your shoe or a 2020 Pixar film. Soul and soul. Number 2. What you might get when Shakespeare is prevented from entering somewhere. Bard, Bard. Number 3. Something you'd work on at the gym or something you'd work on at a seafood restaurant. Muscle and muscle. Number 4. How many cookies are left in the bag after my kids find them? Or a woman who took holy vows? None and none. Number 5. A section of glass or what you might feel if you cut yourself with glass. Pain and pain. Number 6. A royal seat or what a celebrity might have done with an opening pitch at a ball game. Throne and throne. Number 7. A step on a ladder or what you would do to a wet rag. Rung and rung. Number 8. A breakfast food with Ted Bundy. Cereal, cereal. Number 9. What you'd use to make bread or what you might use to decorate the center of your table. Flower and flower. Number 10. What you'd do with a pen or pencil and the hand in which most people would do so. Number 11. Write and write. And that's it for Homophone Trivia. How'd you do?
