Quoted from DJKYrtgfsRFw:The grammar nazi needs a refresher course in idiomatic expressions? There's no W in 'toed the line'. How does it feel to be told you can't spell on the internet?
Misspelling as "tow the line"
"Toe the line" is often misspelled "tow [you even spelled that wrong!] the line", substituting a familiar verb "tow" for the homophonic but unfamiliar verbal use of "toe." "Tow" does not accord with any of the proposed etymologies, so "tow the line" is a linguistic eggcorn[citation needed].

Hi Reuben... i thought i would play your trick - sign in under a different user name. What didn't you post as pinsanity, your regular username???
Ohh, its like on Aussie Arcade - the forum you despise so much, yet have posted under multiple personality/user names eg: Lexicon, falkenell, barbarossa.....
As an aside - i also picked up the grammatical error!
