Rules Of Grammar: Chile, Chile, Chilly, and Chili

Rules Of Grammar LogoChile is a South American country that is located along the Pacific coastline. Chile (spelled with a lowercase “c”) is an alternative spelling of the word “chili.” The Free Dictionary defines “chili” as follows: “The pungent fresh or dried fruit of any of several cultivated varieties of capsicum, used especially as a flavoring in cooking.” And of course, “chilly” means frigid.

Here are some machine briefs to differentiate between the four sound-alike words:

chilly= KHIL/YI
chili= KHIL/LI
Chile= KH*IL/LAO*E
chile= KHIL/LAO*E
