OP, I really don't want to be that guy, and I don't know why I'm being that guy tonight, but regarding your sentence, "I then spent hours pouring over..." - come on man, it's poring.

I don't mind you being that guy at all.

I consider myself to be an ok writer with a reasonable vocabulary.

I never knew it wasn't pouring.

Consider me educated. Thanks. :-)

poring and pouring have different definitions - so pouring is correct for liquid, and poring is correct for poring over.
