Heterograph

I was thinking of a nice topic to post in the blog until the term heterograph came across my mind. Heterographs are words that have the same pronunciation, but have different spellings and meanings. People always misuse these words. In effect, the thought and meaning of a sentence is being misunderstood.
Example: to/too/two

Hi carmie :)


We are only permitted to put commas before coordinating conjunctions when joining two independent clauses.


In this case,

"Heterographs are words that have the same pronunciation, but have different spellings and meanings."

You can't put a comma before BUT.
