Do the words ‘tree’ and ‘trust’ fall in this category?
Very interesting question, as lots of kids do think ‘cheese’ and ‘trees’ are homophones, and a lot of speakers of Broad Australian English do pronounce the ‘t’ in ‘tr’ like /ch/, (so ‘trap’ sounds like ‘chrap’ etc), but the Macquarie Dictionary only codes letter ‘t’ as the sound /ch/ in the middle of words like ‘future’ and ‘posture’, and I use that dictionary as the guide for these lists.
