Ha Many Homonyms Do you Know

My love for words began with playing the board game Scrabble.  Over the years, it has taught me some new words and some fun words – like homonyms.   A long time ago, I began keeping a list of homonyms and it has been growing and growing.   Now, what do I do with it?  Well, I have this travel blog “Focusing On Travel”.  So, even though homonyms have nothing to do with travel, I hope this list strikes a chord/cord with you/ewe too/two.   Am I/aye write/right?
