| Feb 21, 2013 at 8:33 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | @mcalex I have included only those from a certain subset of language learners (I.T. professionals living in certain countries). For instance, with my background (Ukrainian) the words it and eat were confusable, but they aren't for Thais due to different phonology. There are certainly more of those words. If you think some can be added or removed, feel free to edit. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 8:23 | comment | added | mcalex | You can add 'fore' to for/four and bye to buy/by. Do you mean we're for were? Also, pair/pear (and pare) probably don't include peer in their list. | |
| Feb 21, 2013 at 7:59 | comment | added | Be Brave Be Like Ukraine | @JamesJiao I could not think of this term when I was writing the question. :-) I thank to ctype.h for bringing the most correct term for it. Here at ELL, users tend not to know a proper linguistic terminology, so helping adding formal words certainly increases question's searchability. Having each word confused or not depends on whether the asker's native language distinguish certain sounds, so I agree, it may vary. | |
