A Homonym Joke

Two homonyms, actually.

A homonym, by the way, can be a pair (or more) of words that have different meanings and are spelled differently but pronounced the same. A homonym can also be a pair of words spelled the same, have different meanings, but are pronounced differently (such as row, to be one after another and row, a disorganized conflict). And then you can have homographs that are spelled and pronounced the same but have different meanings; for example bear, to carry, and bear a furry animal. A lot of verb-noun combinations are in this group, such a list to mention one after another, and list, a row of items. And then there’s list, a boat tipping in the wind.

Ah, good ol’ English.
