Another Possible Confusing Homonym
I hope you know the difference between a mummy and your Mummy. If you're from Great Britain, it's really important to know the difference. A mummy -- all dead and wrapped up in strips of cloth -- is always scary. Your Mummy is almost never scary and usually very important in your life.

ReplyDeleteThanks Calvin! I am from the Caribbean and grew up saying Mummy. It was never confusing, except when I broke her brand new rocking chair even before she came home and saw it. Then, I did not recognize her at all! She was fierce!
