"Brake" not "break"... Two different meanings...

It would probably be best to break that thing anyway ...Curt A wrote:"Brake" not "break"... Two different meanings...

Thank you, Curt! I see this kind of mistake all the time. It's quite common with so many homonyms in English. Another one that puzzles me is the confusion between "then" and "than." How often have I seen the following (or similar): "I'd rather have this then that"? It seems to be always "then" for "than," and not vice versa. And speaking of "vice," confusion between "vise" (the tool) and "vice" (the something else entirely). "I straightened it in a vice" has an unintended, but quite comical, effect.Curt A wrote:"Brake" not "break"... Two different meanings...
