(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.

I frequently go insane staring at the express lane in the grocery store, proudly marked "10 items or LESS". *rage*

I know folks who have specifically chosen grocery stores based on whether they use "less" or "fewer" on their express lane signs.

And I'm always pleased to find folks for whom differences like this matter.
