Desert - HOMOGRAPH

How about some posts in a new category: HOMOGRAPHS!
These are words with different meanings that are spelled the same, but pronounced differently. I've been keeping a list of them as long as I've had my list of homophones, and I think it's finally time to draw some of them! :)

    I thought that sort of word play was just another homophone. A "homoGRAPH" Huhn. I learned something today! Thx!

      homo- – same
      -phone – sound
      These have different sounds, so they're not homophones. But they do have the same appearance/spelling (-graph), so they're homographs! And I've got a bunch more headed your way over the coming weeks! :)

    What I want is a nice "dessert"
    ...apple pie (or fritter), or ice cream sundae (on a Sunday, or any other day of the week), fudge brownie, ....

    I wouldn't have a reason to desert my dessert in a desert
