  1. "In my World War II class recently, I had my students pore through the speeches and letters of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the years around the war’s start in 1939, searching for his basis for opposing the Nazis."

    I would think that a college professor would know the difference between "pore" and "pour." The kids who paid to sit in his classes are due a refund.

    intransitive verb

    1 : to gaze intently

  3. Anonymous: sorry, but your analysis is exactly backwards. Pore is the correct word.
