Problems with Homonyms

There are problems with homonyms in a language.  I was once in a Web forum about the Pali language.  I asked a question concerning accentuation, but I used the term stress.  It confused some people who thought that I was alluding to stress as in physical or mental strain.  This kind of drunkenness must be prevalent in a highly homonymic language like Cantonese.
