What are these words called...not homonyms, not homophones...anybody? :shrug:
READ - "I READ that book." READ - "I would like to READ that book."
LIVE - "Where does he LIVE?" LIVE - "I've seen that band LIVE."
Etc...words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings and are pronounced differently. I've googled myself silly and I'm either not phrasing it right or something, cos I can't find jack dammit. :(

This was just one of those things that was stuck in my head. I seriously looked about a million places before I posted. Why would that be so hard to find?! :shrug:

I think you may have gotten it here. I had this bookmarked after seeing in a thread a few weeks ago, unfortunately it got lost when I reformatted because I neglected to back up my faves. :mad:
Thanks, Booberdawg!! :hi:
