===What's the Difference?===
There's no place like home
====Home Appraisal vs Home Assessment ====
A home appraisal is done to determine the fair market value of a specific property. The appraiser is part of a private business and is hired by real estate companies or private sellers to come up with a number. A home assessment is done to determine the tax rate a property owner must pay. The assessor is a government employee who usually uses past records rather than the market rate to come up with a number. 
====Palace vs Castle ====
** from listener June Loveland of Shreveport, LA
A palace is any large, opulent home that can be occupied by anyone royal or not. A castle is a large home that is fortified against attack, usually by towers, moats, and drawbridges. Sometimes a castle is converted into a palace by removing those defenses and enlarging the windows and sometimes back in the day a palace was converted to a castle by adding these defenses. These defenses are called crenulations and often required special permission from the king called a license to crenulate.
