Weary v. Wary
May 23rd, 2004
OK, folks here is one that has come up quite a few times lately and I have to mention it. The words WEARY and WARY mean very different things. Weary means tired. Wary means skeptical or suspicious. You are weary from your long day working on the farm. You are wary of men in one piece clothing.
Class dismissed.

So did you know that it was Attorneys General, not Attorney Generals?
yes, I did. And it’s Courts Martial not Court Martials. I’m sure we’ll be hearing that phrase a lot in the news in the coming weeks….
