Sound Alikes
Sound alike words, also known as homophones, cause confusion. Here at Vocabulary SpellingCity.com, we want you to learn the correct spelling and meaning behind all of the sound alike words. Vocabulary SpellingCity provides you with "confusing words" vocabulary lists for you to practice with.
We all have made those mistakes when, for instance, your friend had a hoarse throat and you sent an email that said, "Tommy has a horse throat." Did you really mean that your friend has a horse in his throat? Of course not!
