Wreaking Havoc on Reek

Today's common error is really more of a spelling mistake. Very few people are likely to write either word very often, but may speak them regularly. Neither are very positive words, but both get their point across quite nicely.

WREAK - to cause destruction, inflict revenge or express anger or hatred in action against another

REEK - give off an extremely unpleasant smell or show strong evidence of an unpleasant quality.
