feint

[Victor Steinbok]

Jacob Weisberg in Slate wrote yesterday, "The GOP's congressional
leadership will feint right while legislating closer to the center."

There is nothing wrong with "feint" here. But I am curious as to how
many "on the street" comments confuse "feign" and "feint", especially
since both refer to a kind of deception.
