Definitions and meanings of "Homophones"

What do we mean by homophones?

A word which is pronounced the same as another word but differs in spelling or meaning or origin.

A letter or group of letters which are pronounced the same as another letter or group of letters.

Differently spelled words that pronounce exactly the same. Some common homophones include - there, their, they’re - your, you’re - taught, taut, tot - aunt, ant - for, four, fore - break, brake - scent, cent, sent - weather, whether An alarmingly significant chunk of the English-speaking population seems to struggle with homophonic words, age surprisingly not playing a major factor. Having the ability to correctly use homophones is a skill that’s heavily unappreciated and seems to be dying off slowly. Therefore, if one encounters an individual with such a rare skill, realize how potentially valuable that individual may be. This is especially true for younger people. In a world where smartphones autocorrect wrong spelling but fail to autocorrect wrong homophone usage, this is a skill that should be highly valued. Urban Dictionary
