A comment on The hardest aspect of learning English as a second language. Parent comment
Edit: Sorry, I should perhaps not leave that hanging. These depend on your emphasis. More specifically:
* en-TRANCE (hypnotise) versus EN-trance (doorway);
* AL-ternate (switch between) versus al-TER-nate (the other thing);
* re-FUSE (to decline) versus RE-fuse (rubbish).
Not to mention the multiple meanings of "lead", "set", "row", "bow", and more.
