Ways to tell them apart:
T-shirt and tee shirt refer to the same item of clothing, a casual top with short sleeves and no collar.
The term T-shirt is derived from the T shape of the body and sleeves.
Tee shirt is simply a phonetic spelling of T-shirt.
Both terms are acceptable, but T-shirt is more commonly used in writing.
They both mean the same thing, so context won't help differentiate them.
