Today's rant concerns the proper spelling and use of the words where and wear. Mix-ups with these words aren't too common, but I did come across several misuses while I was browsing today. So, here are the correct uses for them:

• Where: Used indicate a place. Example: Where are you? I'm where the river meets the ocean. He went back to the place where he was born.
• Wear: To use an article to cover your body. Example: Are you going to wear the red dress? I am wearing the red dress. Also, wear can refer to long term use of an item. Example: The house showed signs of wear.
