Homophones - Which One is Right?

Homophones, they are everywhere.
Words that look the same and/or sound the same can easily be confused. For example, if you invite people over and tell them to bring their palates/palettes, they won’t know whether they should expect to be drinking wine or painting!

And while this can lead to some funny misunderstandings amongst friends, in the business world it can cause problems.
