minus-squareMouselemminglinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down2·1 year agoGiven the other typos, this might just be another, but in case it’s an error and you might want to use the phrase some other place where it matters: It’s “give it free rein” like a horse you’re letting choose its own path and pace, rather than a monarch who would “reign.” You could let a bear reign over all Musk’s properties with better results than he’s having, but it would be a different sentence. Both reign and rein can be nouns or verbs: The Fed is trying to “rein in” inflation. The “reign” of King Charles the Turd has barely begun. (Sorry, my inner schoolmarm slipping out.)
minus-squareCoreidan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·1 year agoYou sound insufferable. You went on a multi paragraph rant to correct a strangers spelling on the internet. Wow.
minus-squareMouselemminglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoI think you misread my tone. As I said at the start, “in case… you want to use the phrase some other place where it matters.” That kind of innocent error can impact one’s success when at work or in an essay.
