Baron is the title for the lowest rate of English nobility. I used a mnemonic device of Ruling Over (RO) which reminds me of spelling Baron with one R and an O.

Barren is when someone cannot reproduce. A couple can try and try, but have no success. Therefore, I think of two Rs. The couple may not know if it’s the man or the woman who is barren and the letter E is in both he and her.

If you have an idea on how to remember the difference between these two words or have suggestions for the spelling, please feel free to share them in the comment section of this blog.
