Example of a confusing word: mail (to send)

▪The mail sent the letters last week.
▪The post sent the letters last week.
"Mailer" is a noun referring to a person or entity that sends mail. In the sentence "The mailer sent the letters last week," it correctly identifies the sender. "Mail," on the other hand, is a noun referring to the letters or packages themselves, or a verb meaning "to send." Saying "The mail sent the letters" is incorrect because "mail" cannot act as a subject performing the action of sending. Therefore, "mailer" is the appropriate choice here.
