The power of one

Or a totally different story

This one has absolutely nothing to be with contributing only goodness to society, but rather is about words and how enormous the change is when one swaps one letter for another.

I amused myself whilst driving home the other day – and couldn’t find anything for X until I looked in a dictionary: the others are as they came.

ace   / age

ban  / bun

can / con

den / din

eat / ear

far / fir

get / got or goat / gout

hat /hot

ice / ire

jab / job

kiln / kilt

lamb /limb

mate / mute

never / newer

ode /ore

Pack / pick

quack / quick

rest /rust

son / sun

trap / trip

udder / under

vane / vine

wham / whim

xeno /xero (both are not words, but rather prefixes, but that’s all even the dictionary could come up with).

yen / yon

zap / zip

They say “what a difference a day makes”, I say “what a difference a letter can make”.
