[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People using the word mortified when they mean horrified and confusing weary and wary.[/quote] YESSSS[/quote] What is the difference?[/quote] Mortified means extremely embarrassed or ashamed but for some reason people routinely misuse it as a substitute for horrified/shocked. Weary means that you are exhausted/fatigued whereas wary means you are suspicious or skeptical but again people tend to switch the two. [/quote] God, ALL of this. So many people are using mortified and wary incorrectly. [/quote]
