The words “witch” and “wich” sound similar but have very different meanings and uses:
- Witch
A witch is typically associated with folklore and mythology, referring to a person (often a woman) who practices magic or sorcery.- Example: The witch cast a spell on the villagers.
- Wich
The term “wich” is much less common and is usually found in old English place names, such as Greenwich or Sandwich. Historically, it referred to a place associated with a specific activity, like making salt or trade. It’s also slang for “sandwich” in casual speech.- Example: I ordered a turkey and cheese wich for lunch.
Remember: if it’s magical, go with “witch”; if it’s a place or food, it’s “wich.”
