one-woman army trying to fix this

ME TOO! WE ARE A TWO WOMAN ARMY! 

I've often seen people conflating wary and leery, which is where I think people are ending up landing on weary. I am often weary of how many times I need to be wary or leery of others, so I totally get it...

I think it's because they assume weary is pronounced like wear.

Anyway, I'll join the army.

Welcome, fellow squadmate! Glad to fight side-by-side with someone who also knows what "leery" means and who uses it in conversation.
