	'What does one bale of hay say to the other? Hey, hay!' It's OK, Sporcle. I've heard worse.

	Darling quiz. I was very pleased to see my hometown of Champaign, IL being one of the answers. It made me proud

	I know this will score me some down votes, but in the UK, aunt and ant don't rhyme!

	Nice quiz. I actually tried Bean Bean lol but those are the same word different meaning category :) as I was trying to run through all the veggies. Keep up the good work!

	I second what Gillmacs said. In a lot of areas in the UK, the word 'aunt' is pronounced almost identically to 'aren't' rather than 'ant'.

	In much of the midwestern U.S., at least, "aunt" and "ant" are indeed pronounced the same way. They both rhyme with "pant" or "rant".

	Better is accepted as an alternative spelling of "bettor"... Plus it's also used by the general population.

	trix:	Dec 16th, 2012 at 01:03 GMT		6 points
	"Ant" and "aunt" are also pronounced the same way in the southeastern U.S. as well.

	Amelia4242:	Dec 16th, 2012 at 01:17 GMT		5 points
	Ant and aunt definitely do not sound the same at all. Well not in Australia anyway....

	Just looked up "bail" and could not find a definition that means "save"

	Thank you for the publish!

	@thecleverone - up north, they get a bit closer together. Ask someone from Yorkshire to say them both and it might be plausible that they're homophones. But in the south, not a chance.

	In new england Ant and aunt aren't the same either.

	planetmutty:	Dec 17th, 2012 at 20:55 GMT		0 points
	Good quiz Anne but could have been better by leaving out combinations like ant/aunt and cash/cache which aren't always pronounced the same. Combos like due/dew, ate/eight, deer/dear are always homophones, so I would suggest having more like these.

	For "nautical center", what about "corps core" as an alternate answer?
