WARY and LEERY mean suspicious or prudent or on guard.
That is all.

Re: GAAAAAAHHHHHH Pet Peeve!
OMG THANK YOU! That is one of my pet peeves, along with using 'their, there, they're' inappropriately. OH, and PROLLY drives me insane.

Re: GAAAAAAHHHHHH Pet Peeve!
LOL, I do prolly... but on purpose... I feel like there's a difference when you do it because of colloquialisms or dumbing down the vernacular, from when you do it because you don't know the difference
'could of' also drives me nuts... but I just read like 4 different things here and online that said 'weary' when the person meant suspicious.

lol, they crack me up. this site used to have the 'they're/their/there' and 'your/you're' descriptions too, but i can't find them.
ETA: they're on the 10 words you need to stop misspelling page
OMG, there/their/they're is common, so it's your and you're but I totally forgot about A LOT.. ALOT is not a word, learned that in like 4th grade. A LOT.
