Which do you ride hoarse or horse?
I ride a Horse but you sound hoarse, are you feeling ok?
Same word, two completely different meanings. Homonyms.
Both words pronounced hawrs.
How do I say dollar?
A difficult word to many and one of the most important words you will use continuously.
Pronounced dol-er
Try dolleer or dollurrr, then shorten the sound to
dol-er, compressing the sound.
Does that make sense?

American Baseball, a brief overview.
This is so confusing to some.
Two teams, ones in the field, the other is at bat. Understand?
Team in field has the following players:
catcher,
pitcher,
first base,
second base,
short stop,
third base,
left field,
center field,
right field.
The umpire who calls the games balls and strikes is behind the catcher at home plate.
To score, the batter hits the ball and runs around the bases.
If its caught as a fly, the runners out, if he's tagged by a fielder he's out.
If he makes it around all the bases and crosses home plate, then its a run scored.
Whoever has the most runs after nine innings wins.
