I need to clarify. thinking about it more: "weird" implies a bit of JUDGEMENT, and not very nice.
For example: did you see the new student in class? She's really weird!
PECULIAR - implies a bit more thought. LIke.. something is UNUSUAL.
For example: "Hmmm.... that guy just left the store with a big bag. That's peculiar".
synonyms: ODD, strange...

I usually use ” weird ” to express something strange or odd. I try to use ” peculiar” the next time.
