Can't bear the bare

[quisensoucie]

As I age, my tolerance for mny things diminishes. My reserve tolereance tank, in relation to knowing the difference between bare and bear, is empty!
So many people cannot 'bare this/that/him, etc'
Even accounting for varying educational attainment, surely context aids comprehension so the correct spelling is used??

I hate the mistaken bare for bear. To me it seems obvious - we say unbearable. If it were unbareable you would be unable to get clothes off it...no?

Only when you’re in the USA, I think.

It's the meaning similar to "bearing a load", "having a cross to bear" - something to be born.

Borne

I'm pretty sure either is ok.

One of my favourites was on a thread about US gun laws and their right to bare arms 🤣

Cambridge dictionary says it's borne if it pertains to a load, metaphorical or physical.

I would just imagine a huge bear sitting alongside you when using 'bear with me' etc. No ect here!

It's could of, or should of, which tends to irritate me.

Surely there have been enough posts on this for people to learn. It's could have, should have, etc.

Cambridge dictionary says it's borne if it pertains to a load, metaphorical or physical.

Others allow either.

Absolutely, its very much so when someone rights definately! that I cant bare it at all.

Maybe I’ll try and remember it as bearing a child - that was something to be borne for sure, quite the load. I’ll try and envisage the hairy bear too. Fingers crossed I get over the hurdle that means I can use it! Thanks.

Boarder and border.

So many people appear to put a boarder on something, particularly when talking about crafting. I have visions of blankets going to a boarding school.

In the area where I live 'we was' is more or less part of the dialect. It annoys me but that's how it is. So I am used to hearing it from local people and people who perhaps have not had heaps of education, but it's become a nasty trend among people whom(?) I would expect to know better. I'm talking about presenters and MPs etc.
