Role and Roll
These homophones seem to be tripping up a few blog writers for some reason even though they sound alike they do have different meanings.
role: noun; a character portrayed by an actor. "Ghandi" was Ben Kingsley's greatest role. "Hamlet" is a difficult role for most actors.
Roll can be a verb meaning to push something along the ground so that it rotates.
Roll out the barrel. Roll up the carpet.
Roll can also be a noun describing something that has been rolled up. Pass me that roll of carpet. Was it a sweet roll you baked today?
