@divyamenon89
don't put so many homonyms in a single day, do u think one can learn so many of them instantly?
you may put around 8-10 daily, that would be sufficient
we have a long time, it's better to learn in small chunks rather than ignoring a post because of a large number of homonyms together.
Actually, i found this thread today and this is what i felt after looking so much data in it.
it would be great if we discuss those 8-10 homonyms daily along with their usage :
