This expanded fourth edition defines and cross-references 9,040 homophones and 2,133 homographs (up from 7,870 and 1,554 in the 3rd ed.). As the most comprehensive compilation of American homophones (words that sound alike) and homographs (look-alikes), this latest edition serves well where even the most modern spell-checkers and word processors fail--although rain, reign, and rein may be spelled correctly, the context in which these words may appropriately be used is not obvious to a computer.

Homophones and homographs are words that have different meanings: homophones sound alike but are spelled differently, and homographs are spelled the same but pronounced differently. A second-grade homework assignment to see who could generate the largest list of homophones ignited an interest that inspired the first edition of this dictionary (1986).

When Whitney Holland's innocent date with Dan DeMarco suddenly turns into date rape and she finds herself facing pregnancy, she must leave the small California town where she has grown up. Dan is subsequently killed in an accident and his father, George DeMarco loses his mind with grief demanding that Whitney give one or both of her twin sons to his family to raise as their own. She refuses and he tries to enlist the aid of his powerful underworld cousin, Gino Armani. But, when Gino meets Whitney, he is charmed by her candor and beauty, and his outlook on life begins a radical change. George DeMarco, his plans foiled by Gino's refusal to help him, begins to stalk Whitney, attempting to kill her. He systematically begins to seek revenge, killing those around her as he turns into a chillingly mad stalker-murderer.

Grade Level: 4-6 Making sense of multiple-meaning words. The 25 lessons in this book are designed to give students plenty of practice recognizing and using homographs and heteronyms in written and oral communication. Activities ranging from matching meanings to completing sentences work to stimulate awareness of the multiple meanings a single word can have and how pronunciation changes the meaning of like words. Example: - They tied a BOW on the present. - Robin Hood used a BOW and arrows. ​- The star came on stage to take a BOW. Exercises increase in difficulty as students progress. A list of homographs not used in the lessons is included so teachers can design their own activities.
