Ok, what am I missing? This sounds ok to me. Not stellar, but ok.
I just got out of class, and heard someone ask the teacher why something on the projected screen image was "greyed-ed out" instead of "greyed" out.

It's both, depending on context.
Toe the line means dancing along the edge, flirting with disaster, testing the waters, etc.
Tow the line means drinking the Kool-Aid, doing what's expected of you, etc.
It helps to visualize each phrase to understand its meaning.
At least that's my interpretation. Your mileage may vary.
Toe the line means to go along to get along. Don't rock the boat.
Tow the line is not any phrase that I'm aware of.
Toe the line originated in the military. While people dispute it's origins, the earliest known uses are military.
