WORDS OFTEN CONFUSED WITH BORN
Since the latter part of the 18th century, a distinctionhas been made between born and borne as past participles of the verb bear.
Borne is the past participle in all sensesthat do not refer to physical birth:
The wheatfields have borne abundantly this year.
Judges have always borne a burden of responsibility.
Borne is also the participle when
the sense is “to bring forth (young)”
and the focus is on the mother rather than on the child.
In such cases, borne is preceded by a form of have or followed by by:
Anna had borne a son the previous year.
Two children borne by her earlier were already grown.
When the focus is on the offspring or on something brought forth
as if by birth, born is the standard spelling,
and it occurs only in passive constructions:
My friend was born in Ohio.
No children have been born at the South Pole.
A strange desire was born of the tragic experience.
Born is also an adjective
meaning “by birth,” “innate,” or “native”:

Manner
Adverbs of manner or quality give us information about
how something happens or is done.
These are the adverbs that turn up most frequently
in a game of Mad Libs.
Most of them end in -ly:
He walked quickly.
The train was surprisingly slow.
They clapped loudly.
I saw them playing happily.
But some very common adverbs of manner
do not end in -ly at all:
They didn't do it right.
She did well on the test.
I saw them playing together.
This is, we assure you, OK.
Random House Kernerman Webster's College Dictionary,

because as one character explains “I had to born him, but had to bear him.”
What can be borne by what is born in a post-apocalyptic setting?
What is burden?

Dictionary of Problem Words and Expression
Manner born
This expression has come to mean “accustomed by birth to a high position.”
In this expression,
manner is frequently spelled manor,
through the mistaken idea
that “manor born” means “born to high estate, to the aristocracy.”
The word should be manner, meaning “custom,” “habitual practice.”
One should have no trouble with the expression if he will recall the Shakespearean passage in which it originated.
In Hamlet, Horatio asked about the sound of trumpets, guns, and drums.
Hamlet tells him that each time the King (Claudius) takes a drink, the act is followed by this outburst.
When asked if this uproar is a custom, Hamlet replies:
“Ay, marry, it is :/ But to my mind, though I am native here/ And to the manner born, it is a custom/ More honored in the breach than the observance.”
