I appear in a lot of jewelry measurements, but I am not a word that’s spelled like that, we are homophones. You might see me in the mouth of a classic cartoon character. .

I can be found on bills in the land of the free. Just not literally free because you kind of spend me. I’m often white but it’s not always the case, who will be the first to win this race?

If you’re not careful and don’t use me to stop at the right time, you can end up with a messy sentence because of what may come after. Kind of like a red light but that’s not what I am.

Can’t hide things under me, though you may try Not a sleeping dog, but still you leave me where I lie In fact, one type of me is the baldest of lies If I’m pulled away quickly, it’s a nasty surprise
