Are we able to use two words that sound alike in the same sentence to confuse reader in finding they were flip-flopped from their original meanings.

2018-11-06 05:28:02 UTC  

Similar to read and read?

2018-11-06 05:28:08 UTC  

no, context probably clears that up

2018-11-06 05:28:13 UTC  

but it's still pretty rare

2018-11-06 05:28:18 UTC  

I can't think of an english example

2018-11-06 05:28:23 UTC  

wait, there is cleave and cleave

2018-11-06 05:28:26 UTC  

Yeah, there aren't that many

2018-11-06 05:28:40 UTC  

cleave can mean to split and to fuse/join

2018-11-06 05:28:41 UTC  

no?

2018-11-06 05:28:44 UTC  

Maybe we might read one word, but the original was meant to be read a differently.

2018-11-06 05:29:05 UTC  

I mean, there's some antonyms that are similar

2018-11-06 05:29:19 UTC  

but I can't think of any that are really the same

2018-11-06 05:29:56 UTC  

I've never heard cleave used to mean joining.

2018-11-06 05:30:02 UTC  

Neither have I

2018-11-06 05:30:06 UTC  

Only to split apart.

2018-11-06 05:30:25 UTC  

but apparently it is there

2018-11-06 05:30:56 UTC  

well, for english does it have to by a homophone or a homonym?

2018-11-06 05:31:00 UTC  

cause one woudl be easy

2018-11-06 05:31:02 UTC  

the other much harder

And they lift vp their voyce, and wept againe: and Orpah kissed her mother in law, but Ruth claue vnto her.

2018-11-06 05:32:22 UTC  

Man, they had terrible spelling back in the day.

2018-11-06 05:32:33 UTC  

or awesome spelling

2018-11-06 05:32:57 UTC  

How would they even pronouce 'vp'? It has no vowels.

2018-11-06 05:32:58 UTC  

Find two words that sound the same, are spelled differently, and are opposites and replace them with each other in a sentence and I will be happy.

2018-11-06 05:33:00 UTC
