List of commonly confused homonyms

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced and full of original research. Given the fact that the criteria for inclusion is based on anyones subjective interpretation and/or pronunciation as well as idea of what constitutes commonly confused there is no limit to the potential size of this list. Hence it violates WP:NOT as a list of indiscriminate information. EconomicsGuy 09:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete It seems to forget that this is the English wikipedia and rambles off into other languages like Finnish which are not commonly used in English, let alone confused.  If there's a need for a list like this then better to start again with a new title.  Colonel Warden 17:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Per nom. How on earth do you find references detailing whether one's homonym confusion is common or not? -Verdatum 22:19, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Not just OR, but bad OR. Effect/affect, capital/capitol, okay, I'll buy (confused with by and bye) that.  And to, too and two, yeah, we learned about that when they taught homonyms in third grade.  But "gnaw" and "nor"?  And "caught" as a homonym for "cot"?  Oh, are there any worse examples of "O.R."?
