AAAAAAaaaarrrggghhh!  For the last damn time, internet, there is a difference between “peak” and “peek!”  Yes, I know they both pass the Microsoft Word spell checker, but that doesn’t mean they’re interchangeable!

Do you see the difference?  A “peak” is the top; the summit; the pinnacle.

To “peek” is to take a quick look.  Do you see how stupid it makes you look when you have a “sneak peak” as the headline for your super-duper article where you are taking a look at something?

Stop writing “take a peak,” “sneak peak” and “early peak” when you clearly mean “peek.”

Stop it.

Just stop it.

I can’t stand it anymore.
