Note
The y of weary becomes i before -er, as in happier and busier, and more weary is an equally correct alternative. When the meaning is losing patience rather than strength, the comparative keeps the of that weary takes: wearier of the noise than ever, wearier of sequels. Mind the spelling, since warier, more cautious, differs by a single letter.
