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.
