0 tiger_lily111 Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 ALLLL Righty then! It is definitely time for an update, and, I think to fully reveal the (as I've mentioned before) rather dubious "theme" for which you are striving. Here's what's been guessed so far on the remaining 3 confusers:severe/sever, Hurt/hurt, mean/demean, tough/tuff, Sorry/sorrow, great/greet, gracious/ingratiate, pleased/please, idiotic/iodlize, tolerant/tolerate, exceptional/accept, Great/Greet, Charitable/cherish great/grate, grate/great, Peak/pique, Pique/peak, principal/principle, elicit/illicit, Grievous/egregious, abject/object, horrid/sordid real/Real (Madrid), Blue-footed/cold-footed, Epic/Epoch, Intimate/imminent, lone/only, fowl/foul, FAKER/FAKIR, soulful/sole, rude/crude Words which are often confused in the English language, either through misuse (people don't know the correct meaning or how to use the word correctly) or common misspellings. Some are a lot more esoteric than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tiger_lily111 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 discrete/discreet...........??? Hey EDM, no, not those either. If you'd like to keep guessing at any of them, please feel free, but as an FYI the ones that haven't yet been answered correctly are #13 & 14. In I gave an update of what had been guessed up to that point for those, as well as some re-writes I provided originally in Hope that's helpful & NOT confusing!
