In linguistics, a homonym is, in the strict sense, one of a group of words that share the same spelling and the same pronunciation but have different meanings.

So how do you know what intended meaning I have if they are spelled the same and have the same pronunciation? That is impossible.

You might be refering to a homograph, or a homophone, but a homonym is just a word with duplicate meanings. Homonyms are everywhere, in every docoument, and no proofreading can single them out.

The Sword and the Dragon was edited completely by Cliff Ball and his editing service. If you have a problem with it then contact him. It was a complete edit not a proofread. I just never changed the first paragraph.

It has minor speed bumps because I am not a schooled author. I am a person who wrote a 700,000 word trilogy in long hand in a prison cell without the luxury of a word processor or spell check.

I never claimed to be great. And trust me, as a person who has read at least 500 books I know how good it is. And though it has its problems it is better than most offerings on the market tday. Read the reviews at Goodreads and Amazon. You'll see its no fluke.
