If you stand back far from your screen and squint, the words `ice` and `rice` could be confused for one another.
If you stand way back, say about 30ft/9m away from a large pile of ice or a large pile of white rice, you might also mistake one for the other. This typically does not happen because large piles of ice tend to correspond to a cold place while a large pile of rice would be witnessed in a very different context.
I couldn't find my glasses for a bit and I had to hold my hand over a pile of something on a plate to determine it was in fact slightly warm rice and not ice. I am in the process of becoming ok with the unknown.
