Date: 07-Jul-2008 From: Jennifer Bloomquist <jbloomqugettysburg.edu> Subject: Heterographic Homophones E-mail this message to a friend Hello all, A friend, Harvey Mudd at NIH, has asked me to post to our discussion board on his behalf. For the past 8 years, he has been collecting heterographic homophones (such as week/weak). The list began as an assignment his granddaughter was given in middle school and has grown to 890 pairs, excluding ''proper nouns.'' He and I are both very interested in finding out how many more there might be and were hoping that my fellow linguists would find completing the list a worthy challenge. Harvey is in the process of creating a webpage for the list but if anyone is interested before I can send the link, please email me at jbloomqugettysburg.edu.
