I'm a French and Spanish teacher and I'd like to make up a list of odd English words to help my students see how English isn't as easy as they may think. For instance, you have words of two different pronunciations, even though they are spelled the same such as: read/read, wind/wind, wound/wound. Then you have some that have similar spellings but different pronunciations like: though, through, rough, bough. Not to mention all the homonyms (their, there, they're, too, to, two, etc.).
Please make sure to tell what about the word is weird. Thanks!
