This is a challenge cache so it IS AT the given coordinates. You may find and sign the physical log and write a note online at any time, but you must meet the prerequisites before posting a “Found It” online.
For this challenge, you need to find 10 caches with different homophone pairs in their cache names. No duplicates.
Homophones are words which sound the same but which have separate meanings. Heterograph means that they are spelled differently (while still being pronounced the same). Thank you, bizarre and irrational English spelling!
Regional and individual pronunciation may vary, so there can't be a complete definitive list of English-language homophones. (The Related Web Page is a pretty good source.) You may hear and say a difference between "YOUR" and "YOU'RE"; they're close enough to count as far as I'm concerned. I hear and say a difference between "BEAN" and "BEEN" but they're pronounced identically by many English speakers, so they count. There's a little wiggle room. Just don't try to convince me that "TALK" and "TORQUE" are a legitimate pair. :P
When we include proper names (which often have idiosyncratic spellings) we get even more homphones: BARRY - BURY; MARY - MERRY.
There are a few special cases of homophones which arise in short phrases, not single words. They may be called oronyms, a term coined by Gyles Brandreth. A famous example is ICE CREAM - I SCREAM.
A cache with a homonym triplet counts for three qualifiers, not just one, because it's actually 3 separate pairs. TO - TOO - TWO; WAY - WEIGH - WHEY; THEIR - THERE - THEY'RE
EDIT 3-13-15: You can count "almost" homophones which differ only by a final "S" if they would be true homophones when they were both singular and both plural. Therefore, it's okay to use the "almost" pairs TALE - TAILS or TALES - TAIL (because both single tale/tail and plural tales/tails are okay). With this clarification we don't have to guess if the cache owner meant to name their cache with a homphone pair and inadvertently mixed up the singular/plural forms; it's all fine. {end edit}
Note that mere alternate spellings of the same word (catsup, ketchup) do not count.
Better than my other challenge caches, you can create as many caches/events as you like with homophones in their names. Have fun and share the wordplay. But if you do, your own caches must be at least 4 months old before you use them to qualify and (except for events) must be active, not disabled or archived at the time you log this challenge.
EDIT 3-13-15 One more clarification: This cache name does contain a good homophone pair but you can't use this cache as one of your 10 required qualifiers. Sorry, it's just meant to be an in-theme example of word play to get you in the mood for finding others. {end edit}
EDIT 3-22-15 If the homonym uses a number name (ONE - WON; TWO - TO -TOO) then it has to be spelled out as a word, because this is a cache about words, after all. I'm going to grandfather in prior logs which used "4 - FOR", but all finders after 3/22/15 have to meet the spelled-out requirement.
The difficulty rating is my estimate of the difficulty in finding the qualifiers. The cache itself is a 1.5 difficulty in a corner of the rose bed. Nano tube. Not in the rose bushes, but please do be mindful of thorns nearby.
