Ways to tell them apart:
- Glacier has an ice in it, just like the icy mass it represents.
- Glazier has a z in it, which can remind you of the word glass, because a glazier works with glass.
- Both words are pronounced similarly but mean completely different things, focusing on either natural ice or human work with glass.
- Think of glacier with chill because it's cold, like ice.
- A glazier is involved in making window panes, so it has nothing to do with ice or cold.
