PSA: weary and wary are not the same word

[Special K]

PSA - lose and loose are not interchangeable. I hate it when I see someone type something like "I thought they were going to loose the game yesterday".

Oh yea, and it's "piqued" my interest, not "peaked" my interest.

weary is a synonym of exhausted.

wary is a synonym of cautious or watchful.

ex: i know you are probably weary when you make this mistake, but be wary of it.

PSA bares is not a synonym of bears.


"It bares repeating"

Owned. :laugh:

"I could care less"

UGHHHH.

Dear morons who say this phrase incorrectly,

If you actually applied logic to the verbal vomit you constantly spew on these forums, you would realize that phrase doesn't even mean what you think it does. If you could care less, then you obviously care enough to invalidate the rest of your statement. For example, "I could care less what Britney sticks in her ass." The non-dumbass english reader would realize your error and laugh at you since it is then obvious you have a level of interest in what Britney sticks in her ass. Most grammar errors I can ignore, but this one is far too stupid.

Sincerely,

Delete yourself and fuck you

i'm now officially ashamed of myself. that's the mistake that irks me the most because it turns up in everyday conversation as well as the internet... and i forgot to poke fun at it!

El...do you read the boards at Dpreview?? If not this is some weird sychronicity, because the exact same thing came up in a thread there.

I'm always weary of people like you - its none of you're business to tell people how their supposed to write words.
