"Rein in" is an expression that's always spelled the same and means to put limitations on, restrict, hold back, or restrain. It comes from the word rein, the leather strap attached to the bit that's used to control a horse.
To reign is to be a monarch; or to administer or rule as over a kingdom; or figuratively, e.g., "Jeff Beck is the reigning king of the electric guitar."
Fair enough, I'm just dumb. I will leave it at that.
Though gotta admit the "reigned" example sounds silly, since one cannot rule over an inanimate object. Well aware it's just a figure of speech, just sounds silly.

Trust me, dumb you ain't.
It was meant in jest, I hold no ill-will.
There's no ill will anywhere in what you wrote anon
And like I said, I know dumb,...and you ain't it :)
Dumb people don't care about words or spelling or definitions, and they don't think to ask questions about the topic
