(And, please further note, none of this is directed toward anyone reading here...I've just gotten fed up.)

Word confusion is everywhere. Here are some quick pointers:

Rein and reign: You reign over a land. You give someone free rein.

(also? People are never, never given "free rain." Well, I guess one does not have to pay for weather events. But... no. Never.)

Phase and faze: You can be going through a phase. Characters on certain science fiction television shows can be out of phase. They may or may not be fazed by this turn of events.

Thank you.

Not in money terms, but in light of the 2nd paragraph of the sh'ma (Deut. 11:13-21), I'd say the rain comes at a price. At least in Israel and possibly only when a Jewish king reigns there. Other countries may be given free rein without concern for their crops.
