            Cannon is a thing you shoot big lumps of exploding metal to the distance of tens of kilometers.

            Canon is the thing with the plots and stories. Also, a camera.

                Don’t worry about it. From what I’ve seen, about 75% of people make the same mistake lol.

                  In my experience it’s far higher. That and “rouge” seem to be very common misspellings.
