What are some words that you can spell two different ways?

You're thinking about homographs, words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and sometimes different pronunciations. Here are a few examples:

With different pronunciations:

* bow (to bend at the waist) vs. bow (a weapon)

* lead (a metal) vs. lead (to guide)

* wind (air in motion) vs. wind (to turn)

* read (present tense) vs. read (past tense)

With the same pronunciation:

* bat (a flying mammal) vs. bat (a piece of equipment used in baseball)

* minute (a unit of time) vs. minute (tiny)

* object (a thing) vs. object (to disagree)

* tear (a drop of liquid from the eye) vs. tear (to rip)
