Gramer girl here, I'm Mignon Fogredy and this week I have a meaty middle about homophones,

homographs and hominems, and a quick and dirty tip about the difference between a lectern,

a podium and a deus, and another quick and dirty tip about capitalizing award names.

The screen actors' guild awards were a couple of nights ago.

They're more commonly called the SAG awards, and they had a doozy of an error on Judy

Dentch's name card.

She was nominated for an award called Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading

Roll for her work in the movie Victoria and Abdul.

But instead of spelling it R-O-L-E for roll, they spelled it R-O-L-L, like the bread.

I'm a complete sucker for silly jokes, so I loved all the tweets that followed.

These are just a few.

Ethan J. Sacks tweeted, once again she's the toast of Hollywood.

Andy Oroch tweeted, finally, payoff for all those upper crust portrayals.

Jeff, who goes by music psych, gets extra points for using references to bread in two languages.

By tweeting, don't pan her performance.

She really rose to the occasion.

Pan is bread in Spanish.

And finally, Mike Davidson capted off with the quick, red jokes get so stale.

Words like R-O-L-E and R-O-L-L, which are spelled differently, but sound the same, are called

homophones.

The homo root means same, and the phone root means sound.

So homophones are words that sound the same.
