    • If you spell it peaqued you’re never more than half wrongscarabin

    • You wouldn't use interest as subject but as an object with pique. So "my interest piqued" is wrong.palimpsest
    • The dog's anus piqued my interest is correct.
      My interest piqued the dog's anus is incorrect.      palimpsest
    • My interest peeked is also incorrect. However, someone can take a peek at your interest.

    • Oh, I see where you're going with this. I stand corrected.
      But, 'this piqued my interest' is still correct.      Continuity
    • You might want to talk about that fixation with dogs' anuses with a professional, though. Just lookin' out for you.Continuity
    • Your concern has piqued my interest and warmed my heart.palimpsest
    • My gender neutral attention was consensually aroused without coercion or race privilege.shapesalad
    • "My interest in that matter peaked in the 80s" vs "My interest in this matter is piqued"!Nairn
    • What I find amusing with these types of errors is that it makes no sense if you use the wrong form. Why would you use peak when you mean pique?palimpsest
    • "Per say" is one of my favorites!palimpsest
