Every time I write a version of the word, I have to look it up and then I can never remember the next time.

But just b/c of the similarity I'll use peek instead of peak by accident. It happens. :)Laura Paulinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503090226508079501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-54611657846362977852013-01-04T20:17:03.927-05:002013-01-04T20:17:03.927-05:00LOL.
