i know that homonyms are words which sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings. So what pair of homonyms in the ENGLISH language are antonyms of each other?!

this is a riddle given to me tonight and so far i cannot come up with a single example. even words that change more than just adding an ess still seem to share at least the same first letter. for example-- mouse, mice.

Ok, i feel really dumb. i am trying to do a report on Booker T. Washington and we are supposed to use the internet and books for our information. I was reading on http://northbysouth.kenyon.edu/1998/edu/home/btw.htm and i got to a paragraph i don't get at all could somone help me out? Here it is "Booker T. Washington stands out in American History as a school book black hero. Some have even gone as far as to label Booker T. Washington a token ***** in the company of white heroes. This is because of his acceptance of segregation, his outward humility, and his opposition to black militancy, even more than because of his constructive achievements as an educator and race leader. His critics argue that his methods were too compromising and unheroic to be placed in the forefront as the spokesperson for black progress."

Looking for words within words that have a correlation. For example the word 'miser' is in the word 'misery.' The word 'anger' is in the word 'danger.'

That's all I can think of. Let's hear some more.

Hi, this psycho, snotty, complete loser that I know has a really odd speech impediment. What I don't know is if it's really a speech impediment, if she never associated the true spelling of the words to their pronunciation (i.e. how some people say "supposIVEly" instead of "supposEDly"), or if she just mispronounces things on purpose because she's such a snotty weirdo who thinks that she's better than everyone else (when in fact her education is less than that of a rat). Anyway, what she seems to have the most trouble with is the word "we'll." Example: We'll have to see how that works out. Instead, she says something that sounds like either
"where" or "were" added to a whistling sound. It's almost like some hybrid, French-sounding word! Example: Werecey what happens ("we'll see what happens").

What do you think that is?

A) a true speech impediment
B) she doesn't know the real pronunciation
C) she thinks she's too good to pronounce words properly
D) something else

Thank you!
