My husband has a wicked fascination with Heteronyms...words that are spelled the same but sound differently depending on how you are using them. Examples are: lead (to guide or a metal), wind (a gust of air or to turn something...like a watch), wound (having turned something or an injury). We have a contest going to see who can come up with the longest list.
So, in honor of this great comment, here is a list of heteronyms:
