What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist? You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist

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!

Just today I found an email that read: “...sneek a peak at...”. Maybe a simple dyslexic moment at the keys? or was it? Be careful using those keys; they can be dangerous in hurried hands.
