Good morning!  As I sat in Gratitude for the day, the thought came to me that sometimes we can get confused between words that sound alike, or sound almost alike, but mean something very different, so I'm starting a list here, and I invite you to add words as they come to you!

Pray  -  prey

Expansive  -  expensive

I love this reference of word comparisons by Mrs Eddy in her writing "Unity of Good"

 

"There are two English words, often used as if they were synonyms,  which really have a shade of difference between them.   

An egotist is one who talks much of himself. Egotism 
implies vanity and self-conceit.

Egoism is a more philosophical word, signifying a passionate love of self, which doubts all existence except its own. 

An egoist, therefore, is one uncertain of everything except his own existence.

Applying these distinctions to evil and God, we shall 
find that evil is egotistic,

— boastful, but fleeing like a shadow at daybreak; while God is egoistic, knowing only"

Do you think we could have a page of its own like the recipes and books?  That way we could always find it easily!
