A minor point but it aggregates the hell out of me. One "hones" an edge; one "homes" in on a point.

When one criticizes another's grammar or usage, one should always carefully proofread their post :)

I suppose it’s unfair to blame autocorrect; guilty as charged. I’ll wager, however, that “hones in” appears more frequently in more writers’ work intentionally, than my typo does in mine.
