Status - statue

Careless typing may lead you to say statue when you mean status - and the spellchecker may allow you to.

• status is the 'standing' of something - the position, in law or society. There is use of the word to mean 'of high standing', or 'privileged', as in "He has status in the firm." (It comes from the Latin sta-, 'to stand'. It is connected with stance.) It is usually pronounced 'STATE-us', althoughh some say 'STAT-us' where the first syllable rhymes with 'cat' or 'that'. The plural is rare, as status is essentially a non-count noun: when you need a plural, say statuses.
• a statue is a carved, three-dimensional work of art. Examples include Michelangelo's David and Rodin's Thinker. Statue is pronounced as shown in the E. E. Cummings poem mr youse needn't be so spry: ...

for youse ideas i'll match youse

a pretty girl who naked is

is worth a million statues.

which also shows the plural form statues.
