Spelling Test
It was Mad Ade junior's turn in the class spelling test. The teacher said a word and asked Mad Ade junior to spell it. Mad Ade junior realized that there was more than one way to spell the word he heard, so he asked the teacher to use the word in a sentence. The teacher didn't catch on as to why a sentence was necessary, but used the word in a sentence anyway.
Mad Ade junior still wasn't sure how to spell the word, so he asked the teacher, "Up or down?"
The teacher finally caught on and answered his question. After hearing the teacher's reply, Mad Ade junior spelled a six letter word and got the word right and went on to win the spelling test. What word did Mad Ade junior spell?

good one. i like this one better than your math ones.
very very clever. ive noticed that oddity in the past, that a word with virtually the opposite menaing sounds exactly the same. never thought to put it into a teaser, i like the set up, not jsut a straight "which two opposites are pronounced the same". veyr good
Excellent teaser.
