I Love Words

I love words, and how so many sound similar but have totally different meanings.  In this chapter it's all in the "air" as we look at simple words ending with the sound "air" or "are" or "ere."  For teachers, its a great, even fun, way to stimulate students thinking about words, and building their vocabulary.  For adults, it's a great refresher.  The list is below, with those in capital's being names.

air		fare		prayer		tare
bare		hair		rare		tear
Bayer		hare		sayer		Thayer
bear		lair		scare		ware
Blair		layer		share		wear
brayer		mare		spare		Baer
care		pair		square
dare		pare		stair
ere		payer		stare
fair		pear		swear

In addition there are lessor words, mostly from the Scottish. 

zair

mair

gair

Bair

cair

sair

wair It's an airy day.  :)  So, get back in your lair to stare at this list while you bear the fair humor of this note. Spare the swear words, ere I dare to call you a square.
