----- Original Message ----- From: "Henry Mullish" <hm48@xxxxxxx> Subject: A question of English Hi there ETNI-ers: There are words in the English language , such as: object, defect, and desert, which mean different things depending on how you pronounce them. My questions are: what is the name of this category of words? And are there other such words? Thank you for your patience...
