Are we singing, praying, or fighting?

Homophones, homophones, homophones. They are still a problem, aren't they? Here's another one that I just came across in a fic:

verses/versus

From Dictionary.com:

4. a poem, or piece of poetry.

5. metrical composition; poetry, esp. as involving metrical form.

So, as you can see, sound much the same, mean completely different things. Let's try to remember, 'kay? Oh, I just checked, and they also cover this on Learn Your Damn Homophones, also mentioned in a previous post.
