Orally Aural. Oh Really?

You can always send off for the free booklet on how to get round homophones in the English language. This delightful little vignette describes practical ways of pronouncing words that sound the same so you never get confused between boy and buoy, aural and oral, and free and three.

The booklet is absolutely free. Send an SAE to:
