I believe homophones is the correct term for what i'm looking for here....here's what i'm talking about:
Three words (not just two) that are spelled differently but pronounced the same (example: teas, tees, and tease).
Also acceptable are words that we all would use, but might be informal or contractions (example: paws, pause, and Pa's)
I really don't think there are a ton of them, but i'd be curious to see just how many we can come up with.
