Dear Peeps on a cycling mailing list,

Those things that you use to stop your bike are called "brakes", NOT 'breaks'. This happens on a frequent basis and it is irritating - probably because I cannot understand how the two words can be confused with each other

So....what about peddles?

LOL, they do that sometimes too, but breaks for brakes seems to be more common on that particular list. I don't understand confusing pedals for peddles either

I don't see the noun confused often, but I probably see "peddling" more often than "pedaling" when the latter is meant. Newspaper stories, wherever. No one knows how to spell any more, and if it passes their spell checker, it goes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets caught up in stuff like this! My favorite from our local newspaper is reading about people "repelling" down mountains. It'd be pretty impressive if I could repel a mountain...

My personal favorite is "please bare with me"
