Maybe it’s the salt air or the obscene amount of clams I’ve been eating, but I have a sudden obsession.   We all know what homophones are, right?   Words that are pronounced the same, but have different meaning.  There are plenty of classics like pear/pair or my personal favorite leek/leak.   But how about homophone triple plays?   It’s my own term, I think, but the meaning seems clear: three words that are pronounced the same, but have a different meaning.   Only problem is, I can only think of two triple plays.   I’m wracking my brain right here, but can only come up with too/to/two, which seems too obvious to even mention, and route/root/rout.   Can you help an obsessed man out here?   Send me a triple play or three.
