IT'S "FREE REIN"

Once again, I encountered the spelling "free reign" in a magazine. This is starting to happen a lot. NO. This is not correct. The correct spelling is free rein. Get it right or pay the price.

    The rein falleth on the chest and the nun just alike.

    Well, these "egg-corns" are always fun to read.

    Of course, as I just twittered to my brother, with the move to tax rain water, perhaps we should concern ourselves with "free rain."

    I recently read a book that spoke of "dust moats" in the air. I suspect that wasn't quite what was really meant.
