The word here is led, not its metallic homonym.
I do not understand why this mistake appears to be increasing in occurrence over the last few years.
- akharris 9y agoWhoops! Thanks for catching the typo. Much appreciated.
- eric_h 9y ago> I do not understand why this mistake appears to be increasing in occurrence over the last few years. Autocorrect, perhaps?
- bobwaycott 9y agoPerhaps? I’ve never seen autocorrect suggest lead when I’m typing led, but maybe it happens to others for sure. On the other hand, I see it not only far more frequently in online usage, but far more consistently, as if people think lead is a homonym of the same-spelling sort, not the same-sounding sort.
