Key Orthographic Rules to Remember
1. Homophones: Words pronounced exactly alike but having different spellings and meanings are homophones (sēa = ocean; sēe = vision).
2. Silent Letters in Anatomy: In knuckle and wrist, the initial consonant is silent (kn- = /n/, wr- = /r/).
3. Vowel Digraphs: Notice ea in heart (/ɑː/), ear (/ɪər/), and teeth with double ee (/iː/). Context guides accurate spelling.
