Lease

To say of a man that he leases certain premises leaves it doubtful whether he is lessor or lessee. Being ambiguous, the word should be used with caution.

Leave for Go away

"He left yesterday." Leave is a transitive verb; name the place of departure.

Leave for Let

"Leave it alone." By this many persons mean, not that it is to be left in solitude, but that it is to be untouched, or unmolested.

Lengthways for Lengthwise

Lengthy

Usually said in disparagement of some wearisome discourse. It is no better than breadthy, or thicknessy.
