They phonetically sound the same but mean 2 different things. OAR has 3 letters, OR has 2 ... ahhhhhhh, the complexities of the English language.

An oar is something you row a boat with. The word or tells the difference between two things. example: You are either smart or you are not so smart lol.

Oar is something you row a boat with. They usually come in pairs.
OR is a word designating an alternative in between options. (Cat or Dog, House or Condo, Vanilla or Chocolate)

They are homonyms with completely different meanings. You can not substitute one for the other. If you are rowing you need an OAR. If you are choosing you need one OR the other option.

When you are in a boat, you can make it move by using an OAR, OR a motor. (OR a sail) (OR tie a rope to another, faster boat) (OR try to get a whale to push you gently along)
