grammar pet peeve

and I know --people in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks. But I do hate the misuse of reins vs reigns.

Reins --straps attached to a horse's bit to direct it. Also can be used as a verb --reining in excessive spending (if only Chris Christi had more company doing that!)

Reigns. Rules over. The monarchs reigned for several centuries, partisanship still reigns in american politics.
