It has the same name but it's not the same thing

Have you ever wondered how confusing the English language is to other people trying to learn it?

Anyways, that was just a random thought. :)

Ohmigosh, YES!
(I sound like a Valley Girl. 'Like' a Valley Girl. Ha ha, sheesh.)

If I can find the paper with it, I'd type up some sentences that are hard to understand because of words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. I can't remember what that's called, but it's not homophone... And yeah, we discussed it at this leadership seminar I was forced by my school to attend.
