Morning all,
Bella Scribner here with this week’s Homonym Hop Toad. What’s that? You may well ask. A homonym Hop Toad is a word that sounds like another word, is spelled differently and means something totally different. If you use a misplaced homonym, it becomes a hop toad, Green, with yellow warts, and makes your reader laugh.
Today’s hop toads are the three sights. Yes, there are three of these. Here are their names and descriptions.
CITE: a verb meaning to give proof orally, or to list facts out loud to prove a point.
SIGHT: A noun that which is seen with the eye, the sense of seeing or something which is seen with the eyes.
SITE: a noun, a place as in the site of a building, or where an event happened. This is also the word that is used to refer to a web site, a place on the Internet.
Now that you’ve been introduced to these threetoads, more like frogs than toads, you will be able to tell the difference between them and use the right one in the right place, and you know what? If you do that, the toad changes magically into a pearl to grace your written words.

Hi,
This is a very clever idea to teach propper word usage. Wow! I’m looking forward to sharing these tidbits with our daughter as she gets older and is reading and writing more.
Keep up the awesome work,
Crista Buswell
Hi Ann,
Thanks for the three definitions.
It was done in such a pleasant way.
Take care.
This kind of resource would be invaluable, especially with some of the crazy English I’m seeing today. Could you just maybe start posting to this again? I really like your style of writing, and I’ll be sure to recommend this blog. You’ll surely have readers by time I’m done!
Also, someone seems to be having a spam problem, though that shouldn’t be an issue with this new comment posting system.
