Site of the Week - Alan Cooper's Homonyms

I have a  writing pet peeve - the misuse of homonyms. You know, those words that sound the same but mean very different things. Homonym misusage is quite common and it never hurts to have a place to go and double check your word choices. Alan Cooper's Homonyms  includes definitions to help you find the correct word.

It's an excellent resource for new and not-so-new writers alike. So the next time your debating on a word, make your final decision baste on this list.  ;-)  (Can you spot the homonym misusage?) LOL.

Actually, that is a much longer list than I expected. Wow. :o

Thanks for the resource--not for the joke. ;)
