Why is the english language so shit?

[anotherusedpage]

Bear, bear and bare. Clearly the two that are related are the one that means brown furry animal and the one that means having no clothes on. So why the FUCK is it that you spell bear the animal and bear as in to carry the same, when you spell bare naked differently? This catches me out every SINGLE time. And is now really getting on my nerves. I just nearly handed in an essay all about stripping Jesus instead of carrying him due to this stupidity. And I'm a native speaker so god help all the poor sods out there who are trying to learn this stupid evil crappy language from scratch.
