Peak, Peek, and Pique

If you're talking about the highest point of something, you want "peak".

If you're talking about looking at something or being partially visible behind something, you want "peek".

If you're talking about stimulating curiosity or interest, you want "pique".

It's sad how few people actually get this. Thank you for putting it up; hopefully one of those people will stumble across this and learn something new.

I didn't see this kind of mistake much before FIMFiction, but ever since joining, it seems like everybody's been using "peak" for everything. I don't know why. Also, it feels really weird to actually see a comment on this.

692601 Huh. I guess I'm used to seeing sub-par fanfics (how else to sift out the good ones?) so I've become a bit dulled to it, honestly.
And sorry.

Sorry? Why? It's not bad to see a comment on this, just surprising.
