Confusion between "hone in on" and "home in on"

Thank you, John, for the link to The New Yorker and the Mary Norris article. She's "The Comma Queen" and, along with John McWhorter of The New York Times, an authority on language and how it changes over time.As you suggest, the time for "hone in on" and "home in on" to mean the same thing hasn't arrived yet. Adobe needs to make the correction. And George Plimpton was wrong. I can't believe he wrote that! Literary lions do make mistakes.

The New Yorker says George Plimpton used honed in.

At least we all know what Adobe means. Perhaps the evolution of language will eventually make honed in acceptable.

Thank you, John. In addition to the response I already sent, I’d add that no responsible publication—like The New York Times, The New Yorker magazine or The Atlantic magazine would allow “hone in on.” Since Adobe is a great company and Photoshop is a great product, its text must reflect the highest editorial and copyediting standards. That dialog must be corrected. Merriam-Webster takes a back seat here.

Seems to be some debate on this online.

Both home in and hone in are listed by Merriam Webster since both are commonly used.

MW does acknowledge that hone is often regarded as incorrect but they list it anyway.
