Let's see. Household vinegar is only about 4% acid. Now you're going
to take 1 tablespoon, and put it in a quart of water. That will dilute
it down to about 0.05%. My spit has a higher acid concentration! By
the time I "gradually and repeatedly injure" a weed that way, it'll
have set seed. It won't even think I'm injuring it. It'll think I'm
watering it!

You were way off. Period. My guess is that you are unaware that
household vinegar is already diluted down to about 4%, and you were
thinking of adding 1 tablespoon of acid to a quart of water. But it
sure won't do any good to put a tablespoon of vinegar into a quart of
water!

Okay, so I was wrong about the concentration. That is why words like "I
could be way off" were included.

Here is the correct weed control recipe that I was thinking of,
guaranteed to work - for one quart water and *five* tablespoons vinegar:

1) Boil the water
2) Put one tablespoon of vinegar each in 5 different 8 oz cups
3) Add some calcium rich material to the water (egg shells usually work
best)
4) After five minutes pour the water and shells in to the 5 five
cups
5) Add a food coloring tablet to each of the five cups
6) Stir
7) sprinkle the crushed and colored shells and water around the offending
weeds
8) Spin around 5 times and chant:

Celestial Bunny Bunny you're not funny,
But Hungry, hungry, I'll agree,
Here on earth, there's too much turf
I promise to do your feeding if you do my weeding

9) If you have performed the ceremony correctly, a plague of rabbits will
come by and eat the offending weeds
10) If no rabbits appear, you will need to cover the offending area and
anything within a 5 meter radius with a solid black tarp for 5 years to
show your displeasure.
