Letter: Pored Not Poured

To the Editor:

Thank you for publishing my letter in Gazette Packet [Oct. 18] with the headline, "Obvious Choice." I'm grateful for the opportunity to let my opinions be known to the many readers of the Gazette Packet.

I wrote the word "pored" in the sentence, "... I pored over the ways...", which, in my dictionary means, "to read studiously or attentively." The only word that someone changed in my letter is "pored" which became "poured." I really didn't "pour" over the ways to maximize my earning power and my retirement, I "pored" over the ways.
