1. RE: Blow (to Kat)
Come now..
That's like saying you mispelled 'centre', it should be 'center'
Depends who you are and where you come from. You say Zee, I say Zed.
Same thing. Not the same thing as 'misspeling werds'

2. RE: Blow (to Kat)
I know,
So are 'centre' and 'center'. One is a gathering place, the other is
the middle of something.. But in the real world, most people will choose
to use only one or the other.
I think homonym is the correct word.
