	um....number one isn't right at all. technically, number 7 isn't either.

	Seconded comment above. Farther and father are most definitely pronounced differently, while practice and practise are simply spelling variations on the same word. Also, technically these are not homonyms, which are words that are pronounced and spelled the same but have different meanings; rather, they are homophones (words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings), or to be even more precise, heterographs (same pronunciation, different spelling and meaning).

	thanks for the feedback. for the first comment, how are they wrong? for the second comnment, by chance are you american? i'm not being racist but i'm british so you might pronounce them differently. and practice and practise dont mean exactly the same. practice is a noun, practise is a verb. how is father/farther different.

	I'm British too, and I do pronounce both Rs in "farther". I agree with PSII about homophones, but with sarge about "practise/practice". This is a valuable distinction which is not present in US English. My other comment is: do you really think this needs 5 minutes? 1 should suffice.
