[stylist] confusing similar words

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi,

That works great if one realizes that there 2 different words.  In the case
of gauntlet and Compliment, I did not realize there were 2 separate words,
so I swould not have had any reason to look them up.  Again, I think Braille
readers will be ahead on this since they see the words spelled out rather
than hearing them pronounced as homonyms.  I love it when a light goes off
in my dim brain. (smile)

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com are two sites that have helped my writing a

lot.  Hope they help you too.  Judith
