And from saying it, it makes more sense to say "speak your piece".
If Google returns more answers for 'peace', it just shows how illiterate people are. The phrase has 'piece', but people can't spell.
This one I don't understand. What is the reasoning behind it possibly being "hear hear"?This seems to fall into the same category as "Hear hear!", which i have seen being turned into "Here here!", on occasion. Voted piece.
Hear hear is an expression that originated as hear him, usually repeated. This imperative was used to call attention to a speaker's words, and naturally developed the sense of a broad expression of favour.
Illiteracy then, causing misinterpretation. Reading a few books would solve the problem. I remember wondering about a phrase such as this when I was a little boy, and my parents generally solved the problem, if it lasted long enough after I'd read a book or two. Phrases usually crop up.Its not a matter of spelling, but a matter of interpretation or context.
