                its seems confusing since you have to derive the meaning of those words by context. however, i dont think i would blame english for that. you should blame other languages for creeping into english. for instance,

                Dessert \Des*sert"\, n. [F., fr. desservir to remove from table,
                to clear the table; pref. des- (L. dis-) + servir to serve,
                to serve at table. See {Serve}.]


                Desert \Des"ert\, n. [F. d['e]sert, L. desertum, from desertus
                solitary, desert, pp. of deserere to desert; de- + serere to
                join together. See {Series}.]

                so dessert and d'esert would be pronounced differently in french. however, english remove the ' in d'esert and now we have confusion.

                i believe most ordinary people try to avoid confusing sentences like the above. many would say wrapped instead of wound.

                this does remind me of a plate i saw on a truck: BASSY. it was a pickup truck with a fishing related bumper sticker, so i am guessing it was bass not bass.

                    I found it somwhere.

                    I found it neat the way your brain picks out the correct pronunciation and meaning from the context "on the fly"
