I hole-hardedly agree, but, allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it's a peach of cake.

It really depends on what you are trying to say. Either can be correct or incorrect depending on how one uses it.

"What Is the Difference Between “Home in” or “Hone in”?

Home in and hone in are different since home in is to direct attention, while hone in is to perfect a skill. The two phrases seem the same because of how they are used in sentences.

A Closer Look at the Phrasal Verbs

For example, one can “home in” and “hone in” a campaign theme. But when you home in on a campaign theme, it means you are targeting a single campaign. And when you hone in on a campaign theme, it means you need to perfect or sharpen the campaign you already have.

The definition of hone is to sharpen an object or a skill. You can hone a blade, but you can also hone your negotiation skills or cooking skills.

Home means a shelter, so to home in is to approach a destination like heading home after a tiring day. It’s an original metaphor from homing pigeons, which became associated with missiles, aircraft, and other military concepts.

You can home in on a literal location, like with the previous discussion of homing pigeons and homing missiles. But you can also home in on a specific idea, like homing in on a sense of identity.

So, the main difference between hone in and home in lies in the definition of their first words. Some sentences can use both phrases, but the meaning won’t be the same."
