Weary - tired, lacklustre

Wary - cautious, on guard.

That is all.

I HATE this!! I am so glad I'm not alone 😂 you won't be popular for saying it though, it's meant to be one of those things you just wince at inwardly..

I'm weary of seeing this error but I am wary of complaining about it.

I'd just seen it yet AGAIN and it tipped me over the edge. I turned green, ripped my trousers and stormed around the town, inconveniencing local businesses. Then I posted on here.

Agreed! Thank heavens I'm not alone in this! It gets my dander up, it really does!

Came on pedants’ corner to moan about this but I see I am not the first.

While I’m here, can I complain about my phone’s insistence on correcting pedant to pendant? Of all the words to autocorrect…

Perhaps we could invent a 'pedant light fitting', to illuminate others' mistakes?
