Yes, I'm
aware
of the word wary; now look up "weary". Wary as in "beware" is different from weary as in tired. I see this mistake all the time...

I disagree, it's both right in the title and the topic of the article. Weariness (fatigue), not wariness.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant wary as in beware.
