Spelling represents one of the obstacles that permeate the daily lives of many users of the linguistic system. This is an undeniable fact, but nothing that a little practice does not resolve this impasse.
This practice is related to assiduity in reading and, consequently, in writing, as both procedures enrich lexical capacity and improve writing competence.
Thus, the article that is now evidenced is intended to assist in this attempt, and therefore portrays about of the spelling related to the vowels "o" and "u", thus expressed under the following linguistic circumstances:
* The following words are spelled with "O":
bar, tavern, backpack, stain, tenement, gizzard, mosquito, grief, kid, cough, throat, swallow, polenta, toilet, joke, etc.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
* Those represented by:
amulet, manhole, mouse, fifties, agouti, tannery, tortoise, jabuticaba, clog, inlay, jaw, supetão, board, board, nettle, urticaria, among others.
Such vowels are related to semantic issues, which also represent orthographic aspects. So let's look at some examples:
rush - rush / dam - dam water in dam
blow - wipe your nose / blow - boo
length – length / greeting – greeting
cost - sail the coast / pay - pay the costs
sort - supply, vary / produce - have as a consequence
