Placing the Ax Cent a/k/a Heteronyms

Polish or polish?

One describes something from Poland; the other is something you do to furniture. Spelled exactly the same, but pronounced differently.

Here's another:

Joey Fatone or Joey Fatone?

I prefer to say Joey Fat One. It just sounds funnier than Joey Fa Tone.
