You have a level of commitment to your peers that is steadfast and unwavering. However, I sense that you don’t suffer fools gladly, and if you come across someone who rubs you the wrong way, you won’t hesitate to tell them so.

\"Le verbe endurer est synonyme de souffrir, de supporter et de tolérer, mais tandis qu\'une personne n\'endure (longtemps) ou ne supporte (pour un temps) que des choses : des affronts, la douleur, la faim, la fatigue, le froid, une maladie, etc., on souffre et on tolère des personnes et des choses. Il ne faut pas dire il était temps qu\'ils rompent leur association, car, depuis plusieurs mois, ils ne [s\'enduraient] ou ne [se supportaient] plus l\'un l\'autre, mais car, depuis plusieurs mois, ils ne se souffraient plus ou ne se toléraient plus l\'un l\'autre. Au lieu d\'il n\'[endure] pas les enfants tapageurs, on doit dire il ne souffre pas les enfants tapageurs, mais on dit correctement il ne supporte pas le tapage des enfants.

Se rappeler qu\'il est fautif d\'employer supporter dans le sens d\'appuyer ou de soutenir : appuyer un candidat et non [supporter] un candidat.

Souffrir exprime plus fortement que tolérer l\'idée qu\'on ne subit quelqu\'un que péniblement : naguère elle le tolérait encore, maintenant elle ne le souffre pas. - Dagenais

\"les sots\" rajoutent juste une petite touche précieuse, mais idiots et imbéciles font aussi l\'affaire.

\"140 Un homme d\'esprit serait souvent bien embarrassé sans la compagnie des sots.

Without a company of fools, a person of wit would very often be at a loss.\"
