When one wishes to communicate that they are hestitating over something because of being unsure of it or afraid of it, the word that one uses is 'leary'. Not 'weary'.

ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER. DO YOU SPEAK IT?!


argh.

Also, while I'm on the subject. When an animal is flighty and shy and startles at small sounds, it is 'SKITTISH' not 'SKIDDISH'.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!






I hate the internet.

thought it was spelled "leery", so I looked it up on dictionary.com.

It's both, it would appear. Though the way I always spelled it seems to be the archaic way. hrmph.

i work with ppl who thing that saying "I gots mines" to 3 year olds is perfectly okay.

urrrrf.
I dig. Also included in that is when people add an 's' to the end of names where it does not belong, specifically the names of stores. Like Barnes and Nobles? ARGHARGHARGHARGH. That makes me want to get stabby. IT DOES NOT HAVE A SECOND S, GODDAMNIT.

I get that all the time when I write "wholistic" (or some variant thereof).. spellcheck and it comes up wrong, jump on M-W.com and remind myself the only way it looks right to me is the archaic spelling.
