    Try get, put, run, or go. Those in my second language I’m constantly translating wrong because of how many different definition for those words there are. ‘Put’ has to be over 100 different definitions.

      According to QI, “set” has the most definitions

        Once you set up this set of objects on the set, we’ll be all set for the Set festival and the band can play its set.

            You were really set on correcting him

            It’s been a pet peeve of mine that autocorrect defaults “its” to “it’s.” Someone should change its programming.
