MISTAKE MONDAY for August 29: Can YOU spot what’s wrong?
Can you spot what’s wrong in the image below? Please post your answer as a comment. This is an example of why you can’t rely on spell-checking software to catch your mistakes.

“Reign in” should be “rein in”.
Reign refers to the rule of a king or queen, such as the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Rein is a strap, fastened to a hose’s bit, that slows it down or stops it.
Thanks, Paul, that’s exactly it!
