Sorry to be a grammar right wing populist, but it's "pore over". To pore is to think deeply about to something, to dwell on it. A pour-over is a type of coffee.

You can further reduce that to 0kb by using window.Intl . You get locale and timezone aware date formatting, built-in on all modern browsers. The API is pretty nice! https://caniuse.com/#feat=internationalization
