ha-ha!
So many things can change the meaning of a word.
We need to be able to recognise them all at an instant.
Such a wonder the human brain usually does it so easily!
Just one letter in the spelling is a very common cause of change in meaning.
It's why we put such emphasis on spelling, because it changes meanings.
Words a arbitrary. For instance, dog, chien, perro and hund all mean the sme thing even though their sounds are different.
Words within a language aquire meanings via use, consensus and influences from many sources. They constant evolve, like life itself.
Things remain the same just long enough for us to mostly understand one another, but it's often astonishingly imprecise.
