Thank you. The one that always bugs me on HN is folks “pouring” over something when they really mean poring, or to pore over something.

Right up there with "weary" being used as an unintentional portmanteau of "leery" and "wary".

Oh man, that explains a lot of my confusion. I've seen people say weary and I thought they actually meant weary. Like they were tired because of the thing. But it never scanned correctly, so I was just confused.

Now it makes sense - they meant wary / leery.

Until they mentioned it, I wasn’t even aware of how many abuses of the English language lay in these hills. I’m spooked lol

I don’t assume that people who don’t know how to use weary correctly are that clever, but perhaps you’re just more grammatically optimistic than I am.

I don't think I've ever seen that one done correctly.

It’s pretty rare to find a good pour over too, but Peet’s does a decent one. /s
