I haven't solved it because it only has one picture in it.my browser or something is being weird and only showing one image.
I'm guessing the previous post is Whored, hoard. I can only see the first image, so I'm cheating and using the image names.
first one: Burger, burgher? Again, can't see them but going off image names here.
Damn, guessed right both times.

Homonyms
sound like the same word, but mean different things.
"One of two or more words that have the same sound and often the same spelling but differ in meaning, such as bank (embankment) and bank (place where money is kept)."

Uh....I did see a site that suggests that ace might have been pronounced like ass in Shakespeare's time (http://facweb.furman.edu/~mmenzer/gvs/shakespeare.htm) but around here people pronounce them differently. Ah well. Different places, different aces, I guess.
Anyways, it was:

AFAIK and could confirm there is such thing as a scallop stitch, and it does look like that. I've only knit in garter stitch so far, so I don't have absolute knitting authority yet :)
