Greetings wonderful community!
I found two words that look alike, almost identical, however they have different orthography and different meaning.
E.g.
Vocation - Jane has vocation for teaching.
Vacation - School is closed due summer vacation.
I found words that have double meanings.
E.g. Sage
a) Sage - a plant.
b) Sage - a wise man.
Add words that almost look alike, but have different orthography and different meaning. Add words that have double meanings.
Gratefully waiting for them!![]()

You might like homonyms - words that sound the same but have different meanings: acts - ax, ad - add, - ade, aid, aide, - air, heir.
Heteronyms are fun also - these are words that are spelled the same, pronounced differently, and have different meanings: bass (a metal), bass (a fish) - close (to shut), close (nearby) - combine (to bring together), combine (to cut vegetation, usually hay).
In addition, palingrams are great fun to play with. Read this one backwards: Able was I ere I saw Elba. Racecar and madam are other examples. Madam I'm Adam.
