The word you're looking for is Homonym. Don't you just hate when that

Sometimes. Other times, it's short-sighted <not quite a pun), bastards who
rely on spell checkers and pay no attention to context. I know that there's
a word for two words that sound alike with different meanings, but my brain
has taken a brief vacation and I can't come up with it. Words such as there
and their.
Sorry.

I don't think it's our business to correct misprints. Let blind people
see how crappy the proofreading is nowadays. Although, of course, many
will think it's us, and not the publishing industry. Cheap bastards, who
don't bother to pay for proofreading anymore, and, I sometimes think,
editing, either.
