Bare vs. Bear

Bear Bearing a Bare Baby

If you didn't already know, I spent my first 2 years of college as a Secondary English Education major (fancy college speak for "I want to teach high school english"). I picked the major because I loved my junior high and high school english classes. Some of my favorite things were grammar and parts of speech. I don't claim to be an expert, and I make a lot of grammatical errors, but I love to learn the correct grammar for things in everyday life. I'm always correcting people's grammar in my mind - like using "good" instead of "well" i.e. the answer to "How are you doing?" should be "I'm doing well" - and try to write with the most correct grammar I know. In a post today while I was cooking and canning I wanted to use the phrase "bear with me" and realised I wasn't sure which "bear/bare" to use, so I looked it up! (this is how a lot of my grammar searches start)

I found this cute little post about the difference and just had to share it!

Enjoy =)
