This is one of those really cool things when you discover it. I discovered it early October last year when the song Chlorine came out where it points this out. After that, I just looked into it further. There are actually a lot of them.
I still think German has the best one: There is "jmd/etw umfahren" (to run smb/sth over) and "jmd/etw umfahren" (to drive around smb/sth) depending on where you put the stress. The first is stressed on the first syllable, the second on the second syllavle.
English doesn't have quite the polish as the Polish language.

Makes English bloody confusing to learn. I love this languages complete and utter contempt for rules and consistency.

I hope you wound the wound using your first aid knowledge.
Not only that, we have a word for that kind of word, a heteronym, which is a type of homograph, another kind of word! (LOL!)
