1 -bail o bale?-
Nota d'usoQueste due parole si pronunciano allo stesso modo, ma hanno significati molto diversi. Bail è il denaro che si paga come cauzione, a garanzia della comparizione di una persona arrestata in tribunale: He was released after an initial hearing on 5000 pounds bail, fu rilasciato dopo un'udienza preliminare su versamento di una cauzione di 5000 sterline. Bale è una balla, un grande fascio: bales of hay, balle di fieno; usato come verbo significa “imballare”: to bale hay, imballare il fieno.
