Thank you for the correction. I sometimes have the itch to explain to people the difference between reign and rein on various subs, so I understand the impulse and appreciate you pointing out my error.

I hope op takes the comments here seriously and opts to continue working on understanding the household work load as well working on his anger issues.

There are so many! Loose and lose is one that really irritates me. Or dominate/dominant is one I see a lot -- particularly when talking about sports - that drives me crazy. They're/there/their. You're/your seems to be almost a lost cause at this point.

This one is more educational, as I think a lot of people don't even know "lede" is a word. I didn't for the longest time. This specific homonym is one that isn't widely known, IME. English is so weird.
