Lead.
Now did I say lead or lead?
Lead as in read or lead as in read?
One is a metal, the other to walk ahead of someone.
Lead. Which is it, you decide, usually based on the words around it.
But what what about when there is no context? A sign maybe with just the word 'Lead' on it?
Would you look for rolls of lead sheeting, or would you take the first step?
Lead, you decide.
You have to wonder how people who study English as a second language make head or tail of it.
