[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hone%20in%20on[/quote] This is just a case of a misuse becoming accepted. popIt is "home in" as in on a target. Hone means to sharpen, as in a skill. You still sound like a moron when you say it. [/quote] I love when grammar obsessives make a huge deal about common and easily understood mistakes, but then say the person making them "sound like a moron." No, they don't, because everyone understood what they meant and many people make that same mistake to the point that "hone in on" is in the dictionary. But you look like a jerk for making a huge deal about a common and easily understood grammatical error. If it was very important to you to correct this error, you could have done so tactfully. You chose condescension and belligerence. It is YOU people are annoyed by.[/quote]
