Jul 1, 2016 at 15:09 comment added Gareth McCaughan (But yeah, looking at the description of the "homonym" tag it looks like it's used more broadly, so my apologies for nitpicking.)
Jul 1, 2016 at 15:08 comment added Gareth McCaughan I think everything here is multiple meanings of a single word, whereas homonyms are different words that sound the same. (But may or may not be spelled the same.) So e.g. "ate" and "eight" are homonyms (spelled differently); "tick" the insect and "tick" the checkmark are homonyms (spelled the same); "tick" the checkmark and "tick" the verb meaning to draw one are just different meanings of a single word.
Jul 1, 2016 at 15:04 comment added Brent Hackers @GarethMcCaughan If you mean in the actual question, that's because it's the answer that's a homonym. If you mean that I'm using the word wrong, then quite possibly. Sorry. I do know that there are some specific words for words that are spelled the same vs sound the same etc. but I know homonym gets used as a sort of umbrella term which is good because I have to google the others if I want to use them.
Jul 1, 2016 at 14:50 comment added Gareth McCaughan I don't see any actual homonyms here...

Jul 1, 2016 at 13:33 comment added Brent Hackers @engineertoast Not a different meaning for each 'line' exactly but yes, the descriptions aren't all of the same thing but rather of the word that they have in common.
Jul 1, 2016 at 13:30 comment added Engineer Toast Noticing the tag homonym, I'm guessing the answer has a different meaning to explain each line.
