No, not a gay communication device but words that sound the same but are spelt differently like:
right, rite, write and wright
pour, poor, paw pore
My daughter has a school project and she needs to think of 4, four letter words that are homophones and buggered if I can think of it.
Anyone out there know the answer ?
Or can anyone add to the 2 I mentioned above ?

Either that, or he sets his mobile to vibrate, rams it up his clacka & then rings himself from a phonebox!
