The inverse? reverse? of homophones are weird.
I spell both fillet, but 'fill it' makes me think of I-beams and welding.

Homographs, I guess?

Oh yeah, and what made me wonder about all this was that the OED doesn't know about the two pronunciations of "fillet" and their distinct meanings. But yinz do, so good.
