For example:

Know - no
Knew - new

Grey -gray
But - butt
Read - reed
High - hi
Wrap - rap
To - too - two

You forgot:

Speaker (talker) Speaker (sound reproduction device)

Don't get me started on woofer, tweeter, and squawker...
We never hear the term "squawker" anymore...why's that?

evree inglish spellen rool has an eksepshun!

[EFE Speakers]

Actually the word fishes does exist in one case!

Fish can equal 1 fish.

Fish can equal a large number of fish, like a school of fish.

Fishes is only used to describe a number of various fish of different kinds,
such as - there are fishes in my pond. It not only means more than one but of different species or types.

This is probably one of the only rare things I do remember from school?? )) ;

i thought fish meant lots of fish. But then I see my biology teacher saying "fishes" is the right term so I still don't know about that. I have to take a spanish class, it's incredibly hard, atleast for me. I'm gonna forget it all when school is out. Then I look at my own language and feel bad for the people trying to learn it.

Let your biology teacher know that fishes is not a word. You have one fish, or many fish, not many fishes. Maybe you can disect some fish for him while you are at it.
