Yes, French has a ton of homophones.

Et and Est are dangerous because both can be used by a noun.

Here's an example which humorously displays the issue:

Dying Man: Ouais !
Some Guy: Ô salut,
Dying Man: J'ai besoin de EAU ! Je meurs !
Some Guy: Bien, Je te reçois quelque.
Dying Man: Dépêche toi s'il te plaît !

Some minutes later.

Some Guy: Ici est les OS.
Dying Man: Que ?! Non ! Pas les os ! Du EAU !
Some Guy: OS ? EAU ? Ôôô...
Dying Man: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

Ô french language.

I heard of the slight thingy before but i'd imagine you'd still be able to hear them the same.
Especially how European languages pronounce the eh sound. It tends to sound like a pure ay (IPA: e)sometimes.
Even Japanese has that effect and bothers me to no end. =Y

¿Now what were getting at or talking about?
