In English, too many words are sometimes too similar to bear. Two words to consider are "bears" (nouns) and "bares" (verb). Bears are fuzzy animals that run bare naked in the woods, and sometimes bare (remove) the bark of trees. People usually do not bare tree bark but often have dogs who do bark (noise) at the bears and hares (rabbits) with fuzzy hairs (follicles). People are also barred (prevented) from running bare (without clothes) in the woods but sometimes they do when they drink too many beers ( alcoholic drinks ) made from barley (grain). The forest rangers barely ( hardly ) have time to bar ( stop ) the bears from baring the bark of the trees much less bar all the bare naked people from the bar ( place to get beers ) barely (hardly) bearing (holding) barley (grain) beers and sometimes bearing (growing) beards - the fuzzy stuff on their faces. I hope this helps clear it all up. =)
