I bet you read it like that because while "live" can be pronounced either way the grammatically correct version would be "life" for what I think would be a normal non context aware assumption. The "live" that sounds like "life" has completely different meaning, that coincidentally is correct here because of context but without context I would always assume grammatical in correctness. I've just seen too many people get it wrong. Like "your" and "you're".
Funnily enough you can read the "read" in my sentence above as both present or past tense. It both works but would be pronounced differently.

I hate the recent trend of writing "lead" to mean both "lead" as in "leader" and "led" as in, well, led. Seems it was just a decade or two ago when the two were used distinctively, but some time in the late '10s it all just became "lead". eg: "The army is led well by the general." vs. "The army is lead well by the general."
- Sirizarry 3y agoI’m not sure I’ve come across this use of lead to replace led. You have any examples?
