Wound or Wound? Which is it? Refuse or Refuse? Also, Which One? & More!

We’re back to words spelled the same, pronounced differently and that have different meanings!

I like audio books!

Why?

The stories are very nice and my mind creates the scenery.

However, the stories are told via AI, which pronounces certain words incorrectly, such as the ones in the title. If you don’t know the words, you may make an incorrect assumption.

Let me give you a brief example;

“As he wound down, his cable caught something in the refuse.”

Got it?

If you do, 👌🏼
