From here I'll begin adding any little tidbit that will add value to this club.
For example, at the last meeting, I did an ad-hoc description of heteronym noun / verb pairings. Below is a list of Heteronyms (words with same spelling, but different pronunciations) as examples. When the stress is on the first syllable, then it's a noun. To turn the noun into a verb, simply switch the stress to the second syllable. Beware, words that are spelled the same, sound the same but have different meanings are called Homonyms (i.e. bear)... at least, I think so
Heteronym Noun / Verb pairings:
Absent, Abstract, Accent, Addict, Address, Affect, Affix, Alloy, Ally, Alternate, Annex, Assay, Associate, Attribute, Augment, Belay, Bombard, Combat, Combine, Commune, Compact, Complex, Compost, Compound, Compress, Concert, Conduct, Confect, Confine, Conflict, Conscript, Conserve, Consist, Console, Consort, Construct, Consult, Content, Contest, Contract, Contrast, Converse, Convert, Convict, Costume, Decrease, Default, Defect, Desert, Detail, Dictate, Digest, Discard, Discharge, Discount, Discourse, Dismount, Document, Escort, Essay, Excise, Exploit, Export, Extract, Finance, Foretaste, Foretoken, Forward, Frequent, Gallant, Impact, Implant, Implement, Impound, Import, Impress, Imprint, Incense, Incline, Increase, Indent, Inlay, Insert, Insult, Intercept, Interchange, Intercross, Interdict, Interlink, Interlock, Intern, Interplay, Interspace, Interweave, Intrigue, Invert, Invite, Involute, Mandate, Misprint, Object, Offset, Ornament, Overcount, Overlap, Overlay, Overlook, Override, Overrun, Overturn, Perfect, Perfume, Permit, Pervert, Prefix, Present, Proceed, Produce, Progress, Project, Protest, Purport, Rebel, Recall, Recap, Recess, Recoil, Record, Recount, Redirect, Redo, Redress, Refill, Refund, Refuse, Regress, Rehash, Reject, Relapse, Relay, Remake, Repeat, Reprint, Research, Reset, Retake, Retard, Retract, Retread, Rewrite, Segment, Subject, Survey, Suspect, Torment, Transfer, Transform, Transplant, Transect, Transport, Transpose, Undercount, Underlay, Underline, Underscore, Update, Upgrade, Uplift, Upset.
