english errors

i was typing a comment at my good friend aa's blog. i typed, "please bare with me." but it didn't look right. thank God for the internet, researching on these seemingly unimportant things were made easy. in a few seconds, i found the answer. i came across this site, common errors in english. it explains the difference between bear and bare. well, bear means two things. bear as in teddy bear, that's pretty simple. bear can also mean to carry. example, a pregnant mother is "bearing a child." bare on the other hand, means undress. strippers bare their bodies, hence the word barenaked right? read more about it here.

i almost asked aa to "bare with me", as in "undress with me". hehehe... funny!
