To: Political Junkie Too

It’s like nobody can do their job anymore. I think I’ve seen the word ‘weary’ used mistakenly for ‘wary’ at least 3 times in the past 2 weeks. And I mean on real media websites, not a mistake in a post on FR or FB or anything.

I’m ready to be told that it’s OK to use them interchangeably, like ‘imply’ and ‘infer’. Which is also wrong, btw.

Ditto "effect" and "affect."
