Peak experience

There are 2 peaks, or peeks. One is "peek," the other is "peak." One is a verb, to sneak a look at something, the other is the very top or pinnacle of a mountain. They sound the same. But are spelled differently. I think this is okay because the different spellings alert you to the different meanings. Don't you think it's confusing when one word with one spelling has several vastly different meanings? Or is the spelling of homophones more confusing or difficult to remember? Let me know what you think!

Homonyms sound the same and share the same spelling. Comes from Same Name in Greek, if you look at the prefix and root.
Homophones sound the same, but have different spellings! Comes from Same Sound in Greek.

So technically speaking, peek and peak are homophones.
