Didn't bother looking at it, mainly because I don't claim to be a good
speller or a grammar guru but bear/bare as in "B____ with me" gets me
every time. Bear is an animal and bare is naked. Neither one makes
sense in that context. We should have a third spelling to use.

What grates on my last nerve when it is misused? fewer/less.
