I have seen piece and peace confused quite a few times.

Good post Nikki, it’s amazing how common these mistakes are.

One of my favourites is ‘wether’ instead of ‘whether’ – look it up and you’ll never forget which one to use again.

Hi Jan

Couldn’t agree with you more! Homophones are troublesome critters at the best of times. But, words such as ‘there’ and ‘they’re’ are so different. Perhaps people don’t understand apostrophe use?

Thanks for your comment. Always great to hear what readers think.
