PEACE/PIECE |
It’s hard to believe many people really confuse the meaning of these
words, but the spellings are frequently swapped, probably out of sheer
carelessness. “Piece” has the word “pie” buried in it, which should
remind you of the familiar phrase, “a piece of pie.” You can meditate to
find peace of mind, or you can get angry and give someone a piece of
your mind. Classical scholars will note that pax is the Latin word for
peace, suggesting the need for an “A” in the latter word.
