> Another word that people use wrong all the time is "scan". People think that to scan a page is to just skim through it and not actually read all of it. Actually, scanning a page is the complete opposite: you read every single word and detail and don't skip ANYTHING. So ha.

"Peruse" is the exact same way -- it means "scan," not "skim."
