Take a Peak/Peek/Peke/Pique
If you’re afraid of heights and you and your pet find yourselves dropped atop Mount Blanc, taking a peek may pique your curiosity to look at the magnificent view from the peak with your peke. These italicized words are called homophones (they sound alike). They all are pronounced P-EE-K. Don’t ever misspell them again. You have been warned. Or are you afraid of The Grammar Anarchist too?

Love this blog! Thanks for being the Grammar Anarchist!
