The theme of an old NYT crossword puzzle was the same word(s) that can have the opposite meaning based on context. See how many you get:
Remaining or gone -
Add to or remove from -
Begin operating or stop operating -
Confirmation or uncertainty -
Unchanged or novel -
Easy to see or impossible to see -
Entangle or disentangle -
I wonder why foreigners have trouble learning English? The answers are - left, trim, go off, reservation, original, transparent and ravel.
