I have a new entry for the homophone portion of my Semi-Annual Grammar and Spelling Rant!
Throws /= Throes
throws = the physical act of throwing something.
throes = 1) A severe pang or spasm of pain, as in childbirth; or 2) A condition of agonizing struggle or trouble: a country in the throes of economic collapse.
You cannot be in the throws of passion. (Okay, unless you and your partner are into recreational nude karate or something), you are in the throes of passion.
