I know the difference, but when I'm writing I'll often accidentally go to homonyms, because I think I write phonetically but read grammatically, and when I'm typing fast, I often don't read what I'm writing.

My last sci-fi story was wrong in the way you described. I think I realized that it's very hard to write that sort of sci-fi and make it good. There is the original Star Wars trilogy and what else? So I've decided to forgo that type of writing.

Yeah, I thought that would be the case, but some people are just never told this sort of thing (I know I wasn't ever told until I was 21). I suspect I habitually didn't do it wrong when I was in school, so it never came up.

I wouldn't even say Star Wars is a complete Deus ex techne - it's all very much classic Marxist stuff as far as I can make out, just set in space.
