Right up there with "weary" being used as an unintentional portmanteau of "leery" and "wary".

- dmoy 3y agoOh man, that explains a lot of my confusion. I've seen people say weary and I thought they actually meant weary. Like they were tired because of the thing. But it never scanned correctly, so I was just confused. Now it makes sense - they meant wary / leery.
- aspenmayer 3y agoUntil they mentioned it, I wasn’t even aware of how many abuses of the English language lay in these hills. I’m spooked lol
- aspenmayer 3y agoI don’t assume that people who don’t know how to use weary correctly are that clever, but perhaps you’re just more grammatically optimistic than I am.
