LC April 29, 2021 Thursday Thought

I watched a very moving interview with Sharon McMahon (@sharonsaysso) and Carlos Whittaker (@loswhit) on Instagram. It was about helping people in need, and this quotation came from that interview.

Monday Muddle: bear, bare

LC April 26, 2021 Monday Muddle2 Comments

The word “bear” can mean several different things depending on context. Conversely, “bare” really only means that there is nothing extra added.

The expression “bear with me” is asking for patience. The expression “bare with me” is asking for a whole lot more, and I always suggest that you want to be careful about when you use that one.

bear: (n) a large animal; (v) to carry; to withstand; to support; to provide; to give birth Part of the expression "bear with me". bare: (adj) minimal; plain; uncovered; unclothed; (v) to uncover; to remove clothing NOT part of the expression "bear with me".
