Misspelled, with reason
In the editorial “Spelling, 21st-Century style” on Tuesday, the wrong phrases were used to demonstrate how the Oxford University Press updated its dictionary. The phrases should have been “free rein” and the new entry “free reign” — not “rein in” and “reign in.” Also, the dictionary includes some misspelled or misused words because they are so common or have a historical precedent, not because they are correct.
