A homograph is a word that is spelled the same as another word but has a different meaning and often a different pronunciation. For example, the word "lead" can refer to a type of metal, pronounced "led," or it can mean to guide or direct someone, pronounced "leed." Homographs can create confusion in language, especially in written form, where the context is crucial for understanding which meaning is intended. Recognizing homographs is important for effective communication, as it allows individuals to clarify meaning based on the context in which the word is used.

A draught refers to a serving of a drink, such as beer, that is drawn directly from a cask or keg rather than being served from a bottle or can. This term is commonly used in the context of pubs, bars, and breweries, where beer is often stored and served in large containers like casks or kegs. To serve a draught beer, the bartender or server typically pulls a handle or tap to release the beer from the container and fill a glass or mug for the customer. Draught beer is appreciated for its freshness, flavor, and unique characteristics that can vary depending on factors such as the type of beer, brewing process, and serving method.
