[stylist] confusing similar words

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

okay,
maybe someone's added these definitions for complement, with the e in 
the middle:
example "a full complement of workers" means the full force, the 
amount needed for full, complete or total need.

or, something added to complete or make perfect.

yes, english has a very large number of homophones.
So s o and sew s e w are another pair.
