chapter 3

Words have different meanings and sometimes there can be miscommunications between people because of the meaning they assume is to be associated with the word. In addition, meanings to words change over time with technology advances and general cultural changes. It's not just about the words we say but what words mean. 

I wonder, how do homophones play into this?
