Dec. 20th, 2005 02:45 pmA brief and by no means comprehensive primer on homonyms, compiled based on escapades in SVU fanfic:
If the ladies are grabbing each other between the ribs and the hips, that would be the waist, not to be confused with the waste. Grabbing someone around the waste is a very special kink.
Though this is a legal drama, flapping your wrist is a wave. To waive your hands implies that you don't have your hands anymore, which is both painful and problematic.
When you can't get to something fast enough, that would be a lack of patience. Attorneys and detectives rarely experience a lack of patients, that's reserved for doctors.
Your morals are usually connected to your principles, entirely different from your principals, who called you to their offices in school.
Your ears traditionally will hear. They may be here, but that's a different story...
A story is occasionally also called a tale. A tail is the hairy thing that comes out of the ass end of a horse. Therefore, unless your fic is about SVU characters with ass appendages, you might not want to call it "A Sorta Fairytail".
Traditionally, when we consume alcohol, we are drinking wine, because whine doesn't pour well.
Please, in this festive season, remember your apostrophes...
