Rain, Rein, Reign
It has been a while since I have wrote about the horrors of the english language. However I was inspired by a recent post on one of my favorite blogs, Stuff White People Like.
Some more homonyms I hate are rain, rein and reign. The first one is easy. Rain is easy to picture. The problem is when I have to spell either of the other two. I always want to spell it ‘rain’. Fortunately both of the bad ‘rains’ have good synonyms however there are lots of expressions and idiomatic statements I like that require them. Oh well, poetry vs spelling I guess.
