They’re not the same.

Weary=profoundly tired

Wary=cautious

Thank you.

Can i be weary of being wary?

Or wary of being weary?

Or wary and weary?

"Bear" vs "bare". "Bar" vs "bar". "Arm" vs "arm".

Barring some unforeseen obstacle, I will pick up the bear with my bare hands then bear it on my shoulders, bearing my arm on the right hand, while baring my left arm, and go to the bar. Razz

This seems like an easy one, can we blame some on ‘auto-fill’?

Even there, their & they’re aren’t to bad.

Once you get to effect & affect, I start to get confused. Well, you know what I was trying to type.

The one I see a lot lately is using lead as the past tense of lead. Led is is correct.

But would it be a "mute" point now like a co-worker likes to say? I don't have the heart to correct him as he's like 15 years my senior and should know better.

This argument will be hard to diffuse.....

One of the folks I work for refers to things that are adjusted related to past occurrences as "corrected in the rears". This is difficult.

While in a "chat" with a woman for support on credit union's website, she apologized for the delay and asked me to "bare with her."

I told her that my wife would not approve.
