How to spell peace
What it means: A time without war or fighting.
In a sentence: We wish for peace in the world.
The part people get wrong
Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear. Often misspelled as peice or pease.
Sounds like, but is not: piece. Same sound, different spelling and meaning.
Same family: peaceful, peacefully, peacemaker, peacetime, appease. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Peace comes from Old French "pais" and Latin "pax," both meaning a state of agreement or absence of war. The ancient Roman goddess Pax was the personification of peace.
Patterns it uses: The unstressed vowel (schwa)
