The object of this game is to list 2 words that sound alike but have a different meaning for example ...
tee - this is something that a person who golfs would use
tea - this is something that we would drink on a cold day in the middle of winter or whenever
So ... who will go first ?

wonder adn wander sound the same to me. Let's chalk it up to regional differences -- kinda like the following.
If you live in the Southern Appalachians, the following two words will sound identical when coming out of the mouth of your three year old
Pair -- Pair of shoes
Power -- The electricity in your house
:-)
LOL - thats funny. Guess with our accent the words power and pair are definitely DIFFERENT in pronounciation.
cent
scent
Hey! I'm just a retired English teacher, what do I know? :P For the record, though: wander is wand + er and wonder is one + der, okay?

Yea, Jane, I know that is what the correct pronunciation is.
But, here in the mountains . . . .
:) :) :) :)
I know what you mean.
When my son in law from N.C. says rally --he means really.
I think that's what he's saying!!!
When I lived in Texas, a girl from Memphis , Tenn. said that
I had a real thick Brooklyn accent as her words just oozed of
the south.
Funny when I do go South, I start developing a southern accent
LOL
OK --back to the game.
