Little English Grammar lesson from a Beverly Hills Realtor whose third language is English. The first one was Hungarian then the second one was German and yes you guessed it English was the third language I mastered.

Did you know that, Homonyms are words which have the same spelling and pronunciation, but have different meanings.

Did you know that, Homophones are words which have the same pronunciation, but different spellings and meanings.

Did you know that, Homographs are words that are spelt the same, but have different pronounications and meanings.

Now with this basic explanation please look a this picture and tell me what it is first and second, what do you think is the owner of this car a Missfit or is the owner a Miss Fit?:)

The next question is : is this a Homonym or is it a Homophone or is it a Homograph??

Now if you do not know the answer I am confident our friend Marte Cliff does have the right anwer:)))

I guess it was either the extra S or an extra T. Looks like a small SUV, so I think that gives you a clue, too. Her misspelling was probably intentional.

I love the grammar lesson! I knew these things many many years ago. Now my 6 year old daughter knows more history and grammar and whatnot that I once knew but have forgotten. She teaches me all the time.

Well, since you are in Los Angeles I am going to go with Miss Fit. I bet she's heading to yoga or pilates.

The license plate is confusing at best.

Good luck and success.

Wow, I learnt something today, not sure I will retain it. I think she is a Miss Fit. but not sure how it would fall in your three words analysis, even though English is my first language, and I mean real English...

I think she means ot say she is very fit or buff and therefore it is a homophone.

The RIGHT CHARLOTTE REALTOR!

LOL Love this post, Endre, and I now know why I have a connection with you - for several years, I worked with a very prominent Hungarian surgeon. He had your same sense of humor and was constantly jabbing at me about my 'southern accent!'

He would ask, "Do you know what my favorite flower is? Tulips. Know why? Because I love the magical sound that comes from your two lips when you speak!" Just randomly, he would inject humor into a stressful situation to bring everyone back to 'focus' on a difficult case. Oh and I loved his accent, probably even more than he liked mine! LOL

As for your post - I immediately thought that the woman driver was a health/gym fitness queen like our own Barbara Todaro!

Happy Friday, Endre!
