    It keeps giving me suggestions for the other. And i start second guessing myself like "did i use the wrong one after all?" So i change it then it gets the red line

    Bear is a large furry animal and only means "to carry."

    Bare means naked.

    I'm fairly certain all of our examples are correct, but nobody cares in 2020. Embrace ignorance and illiteracy, says I.

    Yeah, should be Bear with me. Unless it's taking place at a nudist colony.

    Looks well covered to me.

    Thing that annoys me these days: magic.
    I was going to elaborate, but I'll take it to the boards.

    Death scenes in films. Why can they not just die? If you've been shot with an arrow through your heart, I highly doubt you'll be conscious for the next 10 minutes to list your hopes and regrets. :rolleyes:

    a heart shot would be more or less instant, but you can live a surprisingly long time shot through a lung

    Speaking of disparity of mortality:
    Why is it a designated victim can tumble down one flight of stairs and be so dead on landing that the person who pushed them doesn't even bend down to check, just leaps over the body and escapes...
    while the hero can plummet five stories, bounce off metal railing and a parked car, then jump up and continue chasing the perp?

    Lazy animation, such as you find in stuff like Bob's Burgers. I know I'll get someone come along and tell me that's a ridiculous statement, and that each episode takes several months to complete, and that I have no idea of the work that goes into that show, but I don't care. Fact is it looks shit! And those stupid, wide-eyed blank expressions on all the characters are damned annoying!

    10 oz. Mouse makes Bob's Burgers look like Degas by comparison.
    Though I will agree they are pretty crap.

    I find a camera on a website selling used goods. It gives the price and a ONO option. I click on the button that takes me through to the seller's contact details and a mobile number is right there with (any time) alongside. So I ring it. A bloke answers so I explain who I am and ask him what's the lowest he'll go. He groans and comes down by a tenner, all the time sounding like he's wondering who the fuck I am. I ask him if that's his lowest and he says yes. I tell him I'll think about it and end the call.

    Not ten minutes later I've decided I want this camera and that his asking price is fair, so I ring again to seal the deal. No answer. I leave a message and follow it up with a text message. He still hasn't replied to either.

    Here's an idea, mister. If you don't want strangers ringing you up, don't put a fucking ad online with your mobile number and an 'any time' note.

    There is an intense action/adventure story in the making here. :)

    Yeah, It ends where I go round, batter him to death and steal his camera for being a twat.

    Judge: Why did you kill that man, Mr. Jud?

    OurJud: He was a twat, Your Honor.

    Judge: Good enough for me... case dismissed!

    There really shouldn't be legal protections for twats.

    The investigation:

    Detective: First time I've seen a guy beaten to death and
    showered with 120 quid.

    Rookie: I thought you'd seen it all.

    Detective: Me too, guess some blokes'll do anything to
    make a private sale.
    :p
