We never had butter with lobster. Most people I know eat it plain.
Preferably cooked and eaten outside where you can make a big mess and
admire the big pile of shells afterwards :-) Some people have mayonnaise
with it.

I don't like lobster. It seems a shame living where I live. I used to like
it when I was young but now it makes me sick.

This is driving me crazy. Which is it? I've seen both. I think I've used
both. Is it free reign as in rulership or free rein as in giving a horse the
freedom to choose it's pace? Both seem to make sense.

Hmmmm...the free reign looks right, but
free rein sounds better, by definition. I don't know..

When riding, we "give the horse his head" or give him "free rein" to go
where he wants. We "rein him in" or "establish contact" when we want more
control of him.

The idiom is "free rein," as Kelly pointed out.

Any 'reign of TV' would be TV ruling your life! <g>

I need to pass this on to Holly. She's collecting homonyms in sets of three,
sentences with all three words. So far she just has the sets of two, their
and bye.
