First of all, Hydrofluoric acid is called a weak acid because its dissociation constant is lower than other "strong" acids. Its ionization is not as high as most acids because of the very tight bonding between the H and F. It can give a deceptively high pH, even when it is at high concentration because of the tight bonding between the two very small ions.
If you ever deal with this acid, you need to be EXTREMELY careful since the vapors can give you chemical pneumonia that can be fatal and skin contact can kill you through interfering with calcium metabolism in the body. Handling it deserves more respect than any other acid
