Ah, memories and inconvenient homophones...

Those who were in Canberra in the 80s may remember Dickson's Delphi Restaurant, which was a pretty good place for a feed.

Their TV commercial began with: "Discover the taste of Greece".

Hmmm!

The good old their/there/they're stumbling-block is pretty good, but what about palate/palette/pallet/pellet?

It's arguably a four-way spelling trap, and I don't know of any others at that level.

(I am quite content to see any I've overlooked.)
