No spelling error
It went:
Tier
Crying
Homophone.
As in "tier" and "tear" are homophones, in that they sound the same, but have different spellings. "Homo" = same, "Phone" = sound.
("Homophobe" is a contraction, I believe, of homosexualphobe, as "homophobe" would mean fear of one's self or those like you ["homo" = same "phobe" irrational fear])
