a bit weary of companies... It is "wary". Please. Please.

  Or he could have meant that he was tired of these companies disclosing deeply personal information so carelessly. Either one works. When the meaning is that ambiguous, you should probably be kinder and more reserved in your attempts to correct it.

  'weary' is perfectly valid. You're welcome. You're welcome.

    Ok, you got me there, in this case it happened to be valid grammar. Though IMO it was clear the writer meant "wary".

  Well, unless you mean that the entities are tired of the companies, rather than cautious of them, in which case, "weary" is the correct word. Come to think of it, most of the time "wary" is used to refer to reaction resulting from a worrying pattern of behavior, "weary" probably is also accurate, even if its not what the author is most concerned with communicating.
