Today is World Peace Day. (For more information about that, click on the link.) It's also a good time to discuss two commonly misused words: peace and piece. These words, like many of the commonly misused words we've discussed in previous blog topics, are homonyms. They are pronounced almost exactly the same, but have very different meanings and spellings.
The word "peace" means harmony, calmness, or a lack of fighting.
The word "piece" means a part of something.
Can you use those two words correctly? Try it now by writing two simple sentences that show the correct meanings of "peace" and "piece."
Here's an example.
1.) There is no peace when war is happening.
2.) I'd like to try a piece of the chocolate cake.
