Where is it?

Can you see it?

Divided and misaligned

Verspannte Teilung, a bronze sculpture in Michelstadt im Odenwald.  It’s open to interpretation. If you put a sphere  in a vice and misalign the pieces, you end up with a distorted globe.Verspannte Teilung

Can I call you Sam?

Mark Twain

I couldn’t find any evidence that Mark Twain was ever in Lüneburg, although he spent a considerable amount of time in Germany.  But now he sits next to the river Ilmenau in the middle of town and is open to any kind of discussion you would like to have with him.

Mark Twain

What an inspiration an exchange with the man can be!

Sounds like

2015 flour

FLOUER

2015 sheik

SHEIQUE

Homonym can have the same spelling or the same pronunciation, although the latter are more correctly called homophones.  Homophones are actually my bane when typing.  I often right a homophone and only notice it when I reed it later rather then than their.  There really annoying.  I find it heart to bare and it bothers me that this seams to happen more often lately.  But as a result I no a lot of homophones wright of the bat.

But for One Word Sunday: Homonyms I found too photos in my virtual jest which have 2 homophones combined in won picture.

  • flour – flower
  • sheik – chic
  • write – right
  • read – reed
  • their – there – they’re
  • heart – hard
  • bear – bare
  • seams – seems
  • know –  no
  • right – wright
  • chest – jest
  • one – won

Where is the message?

Communication: speaking – listening.  I saw this mural in a school for children with speech problems.  It’s not my mistake – the words are written in mirror script.

A speech therapy practice, “for voice and speaking”.

The best communication happens at eye level.
