Tuesday Tricksters, Main -- Manor

Susan 🐝 Rooks, The Grammar Goddess · It's Tuesday, so it's time for more tricksters, words known as homophones that sound the same (or nearly so), but have different spellings and meanings.

Susan 🐝 Rooks, The Grammar Goddess · It's near the end of 2016, and I started sharing homophones (those nasty words that sound alike -- or nearly so) back in April 2015.
