Litter vs litter

[fred&nermal]

Isn't a litter also one of those things that royalty rode in in ancient times where the servants all carried the carriages with poles?
Maybe litter means a contained portable area for transport, etc. I'd have to look it up in Wilkipedia.

My answer is: The English language is a strange thing...

I'll agree too! Did you ever watch a comedian called Gallegher (he use to smash pumpkins) anyways one bit he did he picked apart the english language, talking about words that were spelled similarly, but pronounced differently.

I.e. "read" could be reed or red and "lead" could be leed or led.

I think Rowan Atkinson had a special that was like this too...actually I think he played more on words then nit pick.
