Classic Proofreaderless Scotsman Headline:
"58% of women worry about bearing flesh"

Have they given up on motherhood then? What percentage of women are worried about baring flesh?

Mind you it could be a lot that they're carrying around.

But despite the obvious spelling error, note that a majority are somewhat worried (to what extent) about showing their bits, but it hasn't put them off actually going on holiday - only 2% didn't go.

Gods Sake! WHAT,..'Hogwash'!

Women are made to 'tease', its called Nature!

Put the,..'lippy on'

Get the,..'new hair do'

Get the,..'nails painted'

Get the,..'eye brows waxed'

It goes on and on and on and on!

Lets face it!, us Guys Love it!

As for the "Flesh Show", 'YES'! Women will have their Limits!, Again its Nature,...

The slight 'Flash', is better than, the full nude!, again, the "tease"!, and Men fall for it,...

'Full Barrel and Quarter'! :)

Anyhow, all that's needed when a Woman asks,,...

"How Do I Look Honey?",...tell them,..

"Absolutely Gorgeous Honey Pie"

You will be,..'Squids in' and on a,..'Promise'! :DD

Problem Solved!!!!

Dinnie start Guga! Don't do "Pubs" too Expensive,
Anyway Women DO Like "showing the flesh", but they have to be told, they look great first, before they have loads of confidence, to 'go-out' to expose themselves.
:D

"58% OF WOMEN WORRY ABOUT BEARING FLESH"

E D I T O R!!!!!

Your idiot headliners have done it again! The word (as pointed out by #9) is BARING!

According to dictionaries ....

Bearing may refer to:
Bearing (navigation), a term for direction
Bearing (mechanical), a component that separates moving parts and takes a load.

BUT

Baring means ...
- the removal of covering
denudation, husking, stripping, uncovering
remotion, removal - the act of removing; "he had surgery for the removal of a malignancy"
disforestation, deforestation - the removal of trees
cornhusking - the act of removing the husks from ears of corn.

The continuing lowering of standards at the Hootsmon goes on. 30 years ago, there would've been hundreds of LoCs over that!

I also noticed that error in spelling or usage or whatever of "baring" and "bearing".

Do they have any competent proofreaders at the Scotsman?

Some women should NEVER bare their flesh, especially if they weight 250 pounds or more and have pendulous dugs that droop to their waist.

Yeccch.

In my, somewhat ancient dictionary, the phrase "to bear" means to carry, to wear, to show or display (as in armorial bearings). Maybe (just maybe) the Scotsman's writers were having a little play on words.

Unfortunately not the right 58%.
