Every now and then I come across a word with multiple readings. I'm used to this for kanji, but most of the time when there are multiple kanji together, it's just the single reading. For example, 身体を起こし、辺りを見回す. Rikaichan gives me two different readings for '辺り' for the same meaning. Is there any stylistic difference between the two, and, in similar situations, is there any way of picking from the two (if there are any differences)? Or should I just try and avoid words like this until I'm beginning to get a natural feel for readings?
