Words with 2 senses

e.g.

af·fect·ed1 (ə-fĕk'tĭd) pronunciation
adj.

1. Acted upon, influenced, or changed.
2. Emotionally stirred or moved.
3. Infected or attacked, as by disease.

[From AFFECT1.]

af·fect·ed2 (ə-fĕk'tĭd) pronunciation
adj.

1. Assumed or simulated to impress others: an affected accent.
2. Speaking or behaving in an artificial way to make an impression.
3. Disposed or inclined.

I mean, that is just too many meanings that could be confused right there.
