Good list, Bill, but I was thinking not so much of homonyms, but words that are almost homonyms, but not quite. Words that are definitely pronounced differently and spelled differently, but close enough--say, first cousins once or twice removed in the Homosimilar Family--for the less astute student of language to misuse.
Oh, I just thought of two that get misused all the time:
to hone v. to home in on
I hear "to hone in on" all the time.
Bone sore, That French is just for you, wwh!
