Whoops!

I got an email advertisement for a grammar class being held nearby. In the ad was this:
But, boy, was she S-L-O-W ...
Gail would sweat over every sentence, pore over grammar guides to get everything right, and stay late to proof her projects. (What a toll it took on Gail!)
Emphasis mine. Pore over grammar guides? Gaaaahhhhh! It's pour, not pore.

Ouch. Talk about embarassing!

Update: In the comments, Tim points out that I'm the one who has been wrong all this time and it really is pore and not pour. Hahahaha! What a dufus! Oh well, now I know the right word to use.

  1. Uh, KT? I think you better check your dictionary. Mine says that "pore" is correct here.
