Default Re: She can't bear 'with' it anymore.

I wouldn't use the "with" personally - and it surprised me : I don't think I've ever come across it before in the sense of "hate". Only to mean "wait patiently" as in as "Bear with me a moment while I check". Though the underlying meaning of the two is clearly the same.

If you found it in a student's work, was it perhaps a confusion between the two? If not - no idea.
