It actually is "said my piece".  As pointed out here, a mistake being common doesn't make it any less of a mistake.

I think I just made that point, but thanks for the back-up hammer.

Thank you for that link. It was an interesting read.

However, that article does not at any time state that one form or the other of this idiom is correct. It is a discussion of the trend in the lexical trade between piece and peace within some idioms.

Quote
An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made. -- The Oxford Companion to the English Language(1992) pp.495-496.

In the case of idioms, if a mistake becomes common enough, it is no longer a mistake. However, for the time being I will concede the point. I used an incorrect idiom. It is still not a homonym error.

Do you even know what a homonym is?  Now tell me how you did not make a homonym error, since you have conceded that YOU USED THE WRONG WORD THAT IS PRONOUNCED EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE CORRECT WORD!  I suppose now you are going to argue that they are not pronounced the same, or that they actually mean the same thing.

If I intended to use the word piece but wrote peace, that would be a homonym error. However, I intended to use the word peace and I wrote the word peace. Therefore I did not make a homonym error. I used the correct word, with the correct spelling, for my intended purpose.  Why is that such a difficult concept to understand?

Actually, never mind. Don't bother explaining why you fail to comprehend. I'm no longer interested.

Yes, but you intentionally used the WRONG WORD.

Your intended ignorance doesn't excuse you from the mistake.

Wow! Double score! Not only does it turn out that Cyberdildo was indeed too stupid to know WHERE it made a homonym error, it was ALSO too stupid to even know what a homonym error is in the first place.

PROTIP: Just because you INTENDED to use the incorrect word in a fixed idiom because you learned from other ignoramuses that that's how it should be used (what kind of asshats do you hang out with, anyway?) doesn't mean that it isn't still one of the classic homonym errors.

This is most gratifying indeed, and I think I shall request a splatter bonus, or failing that, a piledriver bonus.

"Piledriver" makes me think of Claeric.
