Word Confusion

Today I stumbled upon a fun list at http://www.dictionary.com/ and thought I would have some fun. From this list of confusing words I have selected a few and made sentences utilizing the set identified. So just sit back and relax, for today's post is intended for leisure. (Note: If you feel the need to criticize the grammar or anything of that nature, that is fine but remember I do have a twice removed uncle who once trained with a man that bought coffee from the same barrista as Chuck Norris. I'm just sayin'.)

1. Though Mr. Carter was affluent, he never was effluent in order to become influent.

2. I do suppose it wouldn’t be a grave solecism to support the philosophy of solipsism.

3. I am nearly certain that this uncharted island is unchartered.

4. For ease of use you should attach that strap to your attaché.

5. It is completely intolerable that you can be so intolerant.

6. The musician has concluded that the timbre of this timber is quite unique.

7. Her eloquent speech adds to her air of elegance.

8. Can you believe how difficult it is to give my pastorale a true pastoral feel?

9. You really should catch that ewe that is chomping on our yew.

10. A person of high class must always cast aside the caste structures of society.

  1. Just wanted to add that if anyone wants to add a sentence do so here in the comments, it could be fun.
