They were like "We don't read the forums, then Gretorp said, I guess i peruse the forums" Sounded like he thought it meant he glances over the forums, gave me the impression of the opposite of its meaning. | ||

I forget what the first usage was, the 2nd time gretorp was using it in the context of rarely browsing the forums, but it's a really common mistake. I think more people use it as a quick glance-over than in the correct way. | ||
