One advantage of unsystematic spelling is that it enables us to distinguish the written forms of homonyms from one another. What

Answer:

An homonym is a word that has the same sound as other one.

Explanation:

Many times we believe that homonyms are people with the same name, but the real meaning of homonym is a word that sounds the same as the other one but is written differently. An example of this is Right/ write. Both sound the same however the mean extremely different things. They are not synonyms, because they are different things.

Hello!

Homonyms are words that are either spelled or said the same but have different meanings.

Example 1: Two/to/too (all pronounced the same)
-Two is used when referring to the number 2.
-Too is used as "also". (ex. I am going to the movie theater too)
-to is used as an infinitive or a noun right before a verb.

Example 2: bow/bow (spelled the same but have different meanings & are pronounced differently.)
-bow (1): a hair accessory
-bow(2): to bend over

I hope this helps you! Feel free to comment or PM me if you have any additional questions!
