Hi there! You did do the wrong one ;) reins refers to the item that is used to guide horses and the like, and so “reining something/someone in” is the correct term. Reign means to rule over.
It might help you remember which is which if you think of Santa’s REINdeer (deer wearing reins)! Hope that helps :)
Hello, I see you haven’t met government bailouts to big corporations 👋 Oh and it appears brand endorsements on White House lawn has just woken up from her nap.
It might rein him in on tariffs and attempted land theft but it is unlikely to continue past that. Though I do believe that the boycott of American made may be longer lasting than those threats and as an American I actually appreciate those boycotts. Those in power need to understand what isolationism actually means.
Keep protesting American products please. It actually will help. If trump is losing the US money, he will be reigned in.
But will the reining in end the reign?
Did I do the wrong one? I still can’t tell, lol. Sorry grammar gurus, I’m not one of you.

Another way to remember it is that the ‘g’ in “reign” stands for GNU.

Some people might think that’s a stupid memory trick, but I think it rules.
I appreciate the help. I wonder if they’ll ever have grammar bots on lemmy.
No problem!
My guess is it’s only a matter of time

Seconded. Do not buy our products. Build your militaries, sad to say. Save your holidays for better nations.
