Why are these polls the same pronunciations but different meanings
Except yours
Errrm
Axes and axis are said in the same way?
Maybe it’s just me oh no
moveable
You’ve closed the poll before the move apart gang can get here. Mods, democracy is being stifled!
Sometimes they’re different forms (syntactic categories) of the same root:
preSENT (v), PREsent (n)
perFECT (v), PERfect (adj)
conTENT (adj), CONtent (n)
Think that only happens with words that have been in multiple categories for a long time - words that spread across categories more recently don’t get a stress shift. ACCess (n) didn’t become *accESS (v) for instance, it’s ACCess (n,v). Access the verb first appeared in the 1960s afaik
