I keep thinking of tires as the round, rubber things on a car.
I’ve heard tires = fatigue all my life.
It’s not in the directory?
What?? No s?

tire = to become fatigued
tire (also tyre): a rubber cushion around the wheel of a bicycle, motor-car, etc.
The phrase “She/He tires easily.” comes to mind.
I like running hut it tires my legs is incorrect?
I hear it used that way in conversations.
“He tires easily” = “he becomes fatigued easily” = tires is a word.
I’m not sure why you expect the dictionary to show the conjugation of a common intransitive verb.
It’s fine. Those are two different words that happen to be spelled the same (homographs). Also, one is a verb, and the other is a noun.
Thank you,
I checked the dictionary because tires just looks so wrong. I thought it might need a apostrophe.
I’m more accustomed to hearing it in a sentence.
tire = fatigue
tires = fatigues
tired = fatigued
tiring = fatiguing
Sometimes my dyslexia confuses me and I reach for a dictionary when a word doesn’t look right in a sentence.
Apostrophes are for possessives, contractions, and grocery store employees.
Which is a perfectly reasonable thing and is one of the jobs that dictionaries are supposed to do.
You could also just move to Britain or Australia where the wheel thing is spelled tyre, and there is no confusion at all with feeling shagged.
To avoid confusion beween tire and tire you could also move to Tyre, where the word is spelled إطار العجلة.
It’s not uncommon to feel tired after being shagged.
"Tarred owt " = the way they say it in Beck’s neck of the woods.
When it is really bad you reach for the dictionary and grab a cookbook…
I saw the word “wordnesia” recently, but it looked so weird I was sure it must be spelled wrong.
…to make word salad?
I recall when I was a teen and long before the internet, I wrote that, “I am shore…”
I immediately realized that it was wrong but after some time could not come up with a alternate spelling that didn’t start with sh, so couldn’t look it up. Annoyed at my mental block I rewrote it as, “I am certain…” Shortly after sure popped into my head.
Yes, in English the third person singular present form of regular verbs end in s.
I eat, you eat, he/she/it eats.
I walk, you walk, he/she/it walks.
I tire, you tire, he/she/it tires.
I’m not dyslexic, but I sometimes have something similar happen to me when I start questioning the spelling of a word, then I “think too hard about it” and lose all intuitive feel for the correct spelling, and nothing looks right.
