Pealing is a loud, prolonged ringing of bells, like the pealing of the bells at many colleges and universities... peeling is what one's skin does after a sunburn has passed. Just so you know. Ooopsie! There comes that grammar police and editing pencil experience as editor of my university's newspaper, and those God-awful carillon bells we had to suffer through!
I'm drinking.
Also, I will freely admit to substituting "peak" for "peek", all the g**d*** time. NOT because I don't know the difference. But simply because my brain apparently likes the aesthetic of "peak" vs. "peek", and when I'm not paying attention, that's what it just defaults to.
I just tweeted, about 48 hours ago, about the fact that I had just written an entire blog post, using the word "peak" several times throughout, and it wasn't until I went to type out the last "peak" that I went, "F***." and had to go back through and fix my mistake throughout.
I caught it myself. No one had to point it out... yet I didn't catch it until I did it several times... because. I dunno why.
There are a few words in the English language that I am FULLY well aware of the differences in spelling, and yet I will always default to one or the other for whatever reason, if I'm really not thinking about it.
Chord vs. cord, is another one that I know the difference between, yet struggle with on a regular basis. I want everything to be a "chord".
I think that one comes with having been a musician for so long.
Point being... yes. You're right.
But I'm drinking beer. So I don't care. :greenpbl:
