Freight.
Weigh.

We've been misled all of our lives. We've been living a lie!

It's just slightly annoying.

#970 When people use the wrong homophone

To, too, two.
Effect, affect.
Than, then.
Your, you're.
Their, they're, there.
Etc.



Let's be honest, we're all guilty of doing this at some point. I'm sure that somewhere on this blog, there is a common homophone mistake somewhere. That doesn't make it any less annoying when someone else uses the incorrect homophone. 

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but SCHRITT ES DAMEN, ES RECHT ZU ERHALTEN!!

It's just slightly annoying.
