Pitfall Signaller 2: Today another example of how a single letter can make a dramatic difference. Consider this pair: Stationary /ˈsteɪʃənri/ = not moving, standing still = stacjonarny, nieruchomy The i-stop function stops the engine automatically when the vehicle is stationary. Stationery /ˈsteɪʃənri/ = writing and office supplies = artykuły papiernicze, piśmiennicze, biurowe Having found a sheet of hotel stationery in the desk, I wrote a thank-you letter to the Carozzas. As you can see, stationary is an adjective whereas stationery is a noun. You dont need to worry about pronunciation here because these two are homophones (words pronounced in the same way), but be careful when you use them in writing! https://youtube/watch?v=yC-rfjasuaA
