Hold Your Horses
Lately, I've seen several uses of "free reign." Here are two examples. It's supposed to be "free rein."
The expression is about letting a horse loose, not about rulers who can do anything. I think this one's crossed over, though. Let's say goodbye to "free rein" and welcome our new, unhampered leader.

Go ahead-I've actually seen "free rain"- it was in a blog though
How do you give someone free rain? It's already free.
As to it being in a blog, get used to it. The forefront of English, for better or worse, is in the blogs.
