    same game

    Here goes...
    The point of this game is to explain the difference between two words that are very similar and sound the same, but are not.
    Here is an example...

    infinite and infinity.

    (The first person to do this one will get rep).

    P.S. after you come up with the difference give two new words.

    infinite is an adjective and infinity is a noun. they are forms of the same root.

    explode and implode. (people seem to use these two interchangeably)

    Affect (v.), to influence or change
    Effect (v.), to bring about or cause
    Affect (n.), personality or disposition

    deduce vs. deduct
