I’m not a grammar nazi either, but I am glad you posted this. I didn’t know this either. This was an insightful correction. The only thing I usually correct is jibe vs jive....

I'm not sure why you are being down voted. This sounds like it is a surprising revelation for many, myself included.

  I believe it is for "right wing populist" when nazi is usually used with the grammar phrase.

This makes a lot of sense. I have never seen Pore-Over written right, and pronounced, I always thought it was Pour and as an immigrant (even though i came here when I was 5 years old) it never quite made sense, but I went with it. Now that I know the word "pore" exists with this definition, it makes so much more sense.

The Nazis were left wing, but whatever. At least you can spell.

Ha! I’ve always thought pour was more of an onomatopoeia of being hunched over and processing a large set of things. I’ve learned something new today. :)

  Another thing to add to your learnings for the day is the difference between “metaphor” and “onomatopoeia”. The latter is only for words that are related to a particular sound they are describing, e.g., “quack”, “bang”, “sizzle”, “whoosh”. “Pour over” is the sense you describe would be a metaphor.

    So it’s strange I hear it as a sound describing the action then?

      I never thought of it as onomatopoeic before but, if I string the sound out – pooooooour – making the “o” noisy and its pitch rise slowly it does remind me of the sound of a cup being filled from a tap. Ok, I still think it’s an unusual example but you’ve convinced me. I retract my earlier comment and replace it with a “today I learned” for me. :)
