bare or bear

[GeneD]

I hate my job so much I can’t bare going to work, but if I quit I don’t think I can get another job.

Having read it, I perceived "bare" as "bear". Do I get something wrong, or is it a typo?

 

[bubbha]

It should be "bear".

Sorry, but I simply can't resist posting merely to point out my long-standing signature which puns on these homophones.

That is all. :-D

It's a common mistake.

It's a common mistake.

...because the two words are pronounced exactly the same.

And because "bear" is an animal. Good job spotting such a detail.

 

[Tdol]

...because the two words are pronounced exactly the same.

Like here/hear- the wrong one often comes out when people are typing at speed.

... and spellchecks don't flag them up as wrong because they have both words in their data banks.
