European here: WTF?
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.
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 :)
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
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.
