Em-bear-assing mistakes

Some writers bare their soul in their writing. This Yahoo! Shine writer bares her ignorance of basic English with this em-bear-assing error:

I could be wrong, of course. Maybe the writer actually meant to use bear (in the sense of “hold up or support”) because, let’s face it, Tyra’s head does support her real hair. 

So, let’s just assume that the word is correct here and that the writer has shown off her intimate knowledge of the subtleties of language:

Let’s just say the writer accidentally forgot the apostrophe in the contraction let’s:

And that the capitalization of Emmy Awards is completely optional:

It bears repeating: The writer didn’t mean bare (which means to “uncover, reveal, or expose”) here:

And the extra word here and the pronoun they where it should be were all intentional:

An alleged missing word here is just an illusion:

Yes, I couldn’t bear to think that all of these “mistakes” were the result of ignorance or indifference. That would be too embarrassing for the writer and Yahoo!.

Baring some confusion

A Yahoo! Movies blog suffers some word confusion:

If the woman in question is exposing, revealing, or uncovering those “bumpy scars,” then she’s baring them. But I suspect that she still bears them, carrying the visible reminders of some lost appendages.

Bear in mind

I could barely contain myself when I read this commentary in Yahoo! Movies‘ Photo Gallery:

It bears a common error: using bare when the correct word is bear.
