I could be wrong, but shouldn't pores be "pours" and grafs be "graphs"?

Graphs is correct but there was a recent discussion about pours/pores. I believe the people who know more about English than I do decided that pores was correct. I may be wrong, it's happened before.

All I have to go on is that “pores” was the way I have always seen it written.

Could be a generational thing. It always used to be: “toe the line” now it’s “tow the line.”

In journalism it use to be “lead” now it’s “lede.”

Pour your heart out while you peruse and pore over today’s news.
