Homographs
How do you like this: I bought this piece of china in
a china shop when I was in China.
English is a crazy language. There is
no ham in hamburger, no egg in eggplant, neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
French fries weren’t invented in France, and English muffins weren’t invented
in England. Furthermore, quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and
a guinea pig is not from Guinea nor is it a pig!

Get & Become
The word get and become are sometimes interchangeable. However, get has several different meanings. Become, on the other hand, is mainly used to talk about a development of some kind.
Get is one of the commonest words in English. It is mainly used in informal English. Some people even believe that get should not be used in formal speech and writing. That probably doesn’t make much sense, though.
