Sight vs. Site vs. Cite

It's a spell check-busting triple feature: wheee! We know you're just as excited as we are, so let's not waste any time in breaking things down.

  • The word sight is related to vision. When sight is used as a noun, it refers to the act of seeing or to something worth seeing. When sight is used a verb it means the same thing as to see.
  • The word site is all about location, location, location. When it's used as a noun, it refers to a place or a position. When it's used as a verb, it refers to putting something into position.
  • Then we have cite. It's a verb that means to quote or make mention of something as proof. If you've ever written a research paper, you've done a lot of citing, probably against your will.
