Coop & Coupe
Coop – a small living space built for birds such as chickens or pigeons.
Coupe – a two-door car with a fixed roof.
One of my all-time favorite jokes: Why does a chicken coop have two doors? Because if it had four, it would be a chicken sedan.

Altar & Alter
With an A – (n.) a table or platform used for religious ceremonies and sacrifices.
With an E – (v.) to make something different than it was.
Frankly, though, I hope this doesn't come off like I'm advocating for either side. Maybe I should go back to Olympic themed posts. :)
