“I said my piece,” he said.

Isn't the expression: "I said my peace"?

It was traditionally, ‘said my piece’, as in ‘a piece of my mind’ i.e.: I said what was on my mind.

However, ‘said my peace’ has become so common, via misnomer, that now either version is considered correct. Fwiw.

No, it's: "I'se et mah peas."
