tigriswolfOkay, so first of all, it’s probably a bit bad how hilarious I found it when someone used fastened while meaning sped up or quickened. Like, I found it really funny.
Also, I’m getting tired of seeing authors use reign instead of rein.

The worst thing about the reign versus rein issue is that I've seen it used incorrectly so often that now I can't trust myself when I use it. This frustrates me.
Also, I am glad to hear things weren't too bad for you last week. RL interfered and I didn't get a chance to say so at the time.

As to rein&reign - I rode horses for quite a while, so I've never really had problems with it.
Yeah, we got pretty lucky where I am. Other places, not so much.
