The phrase comes from equestrian roots and so refers to the reins of horses but over time people have associated the phrase with the ‘reign’ of kings and queens instead. The phrase ‘sneak peek’ referring to a preview or look at something is another expression that’s commonly misspelt too. Here’s some of the most troublesome words to spell from The Daily Mail - dailymail.co.uk/news/article-555535/The-20-simple-words-Brits-unable-spell-text-mad.html
