269 Clever Illustrations Of ‘Same’ Words That You Probably Confuse Way Too Often
What happens when a frog's car breaks down? It gets toad away. If you're like me and laughed at this joke more than you probably should have, you know that words are fun. Bruce Worden, the man behind a blog called Homophones, Weakly, also shares this opinion. Like you might have already guessed, he's into homophones (each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling). In fact, Bruce likes them so much, he's even visualizing them!
Poking fun at the English language, Bruce uses minimalistic illustrations to prove that we just have to listen. For without context we couldn't know if someone is inviting us to a sail or sale. Scroll down for the images and upvote your favorites! Also, be sure to check out our list of the 20+ 'Same' Things That Most People Don’t Know Are Actually Different, too!

These should be in every grade school classroom. Maybe then we could raise a generation of people that could differentiate between Their, There and They're! Also, we need one for Your and You're!
I've seen plenty of 30+ who can't spell them right either. So pretty sure it is just confusing for everyone equally.
This is a great material for ESL students.
I've seen native speakers (North Americans) make way more confusing errors on spelling - and heard "funny" differences in pronounciation by the rest, especially by us Finns.
Yes, for an ESL student this is completely justifiable. For an American born child, this is an embarrassment.
Considering how literate some of them are, they should probably take another look too.
These are funny, but have a great explanation on the words. Great job!!!!
