historic, historical
Historic means famous or important in history, as in “a historic occasion”, whereas historical can refer to anything that occurred in the past. So it’s a historical share price, not a historic one (and certainly not an historic one).
There’s no need to say “an historic moment” (or an historic anything). It’s a historic moment. Possibly because many years ago the H of historic wasn’t aspirated, it was customary to write “an historic” and now there is a misconceived notion that “an historic” is the right way to describe something terribly important. It’s not.
hoard, horde
- A horde is a crowd or a mob.
- A hoard is an accumulated store of something, and the verb to hoard means to accumulate a store of something.
home page
Two words.
homogeneous, homogenous
The word is (or should be) homogeneous, not homogenous. That is, assuming you mean “of the same kind”, referring to a number of things or people with similar characteristics. Homogenous is an obsolete scientific term that referred to organs or body tissues with genetic similarities.
hone, home in
You can hone a blade: the verb means to sharpen and smooth. You can also hone your skills, figuratively. You can’t really, stricly speaking, “hone in” on a thing. The phrase is used. But it’s widely regarded as incorrect, especially by British readers. So instead say “home in” or use another word.
