Toe, not tow, the line

Several times over the past few days, I've seen folks write, "tows the party line" - just to clarify folks, it's "toes the party line" (and, more often, "toes the line").


Remember when you were a kid and lined up at the line to start a race? You were careful to keep your toes behind the line - staying within your boundary. That's where the phrase apparently originated.


Let's be careful out there.
