Yep. I realized.
This is THE Prime example of the downfall (or similar) of the English
language. (There are tons of them.)
I've never seen that expression in written form, therefore followed the
first spelling that came to my mind from the phonetic image. Then of
cource did not even think about the meaning of the word at the time.
(downfall of writing a foreign lanuage.)
For instance in Finnish language this does not happen because all words
are written as they are pronounced and vice versa. (excluding foreign
words naturally.)
