Bought and brought.........

[DesolateWaist]

are two different fucking words!!!

Has everyone on MN fucking well forgotten this? I have seen 'brought' for 'bought' on three different bastard threads today.

So funny! It's those bloody there, their, they're s that piss me off! Parent homophones!

Parent?! Ain't bloody autocorrect is a bastard too! Darned not parent!

Yes!!! Who on earth says "bought" and hears an 'r' in it?

It's brake and break for me at the moment. I feel ya though, it's like some people have never actually seen the words written down.

Can i add... its your thread and you're very bloody right!

Nice yours use insanity

Not on here, but I find 'prostrate' talk tickles me!

I did pick up a friend on it a while ago. She said brought for both brought and bought. She genuinely had no idea that they were two different words.

The sodding Boots website are even at it!

Oh sweet baby Jesus. I'm going to name and shame on twitter with that.

Also lose/loose. Wanting to 'loose' weight is not a thing! I see it everywhere!!

Insanity your its should be it's

I saw "mindfield" before. What the fuck is a mindfield? Why would anyone think it's a mindfield?
It is so clearly minefield...you know, that field full of mines that you have to be extra careful on so you don't set of the mines. Your mind has fuck all to do with it!

(I bet there's a mistake in my post now I've pointed out Insanity's mistake)

I can forgot lose and loose as the difference isn't so obvious. Look at the word loo for example.

@ boots!!

Lol im at here...searching for that one teeny mistake royal and i've bloody found it..

"so you don't set off the mines*

Im so pedantic

Oh deary that should clearly say im sat here...

Argh! I was so sure I'd typed off, I blame my phone!

this should help

Here here

Im so pedantic

Please tell me that was a piss take.

Brought is when your bring something!!
Bought is when you buy something!!
A lot of spelling mistakes on MN lately too and a lot of Netmums Hunz about too, i even had on the other day telling me how "totes emosh"she was
Hands out grips and to those people

'totes emosh' - I love that.

Could/would/should of instead of could/would/should have and brought instead of bought are my two top grammar fuck up irritations.
I'd not call anyone out on it though.

I don't mention it in a reply to a post on here, although I might reply making sure I got the correct word in my reply.
Which is why I have come to pedants corner.
I picked up a friend on it as she was asking me to proof read something for her.

Of course,although the DH hates it when i correct him and calls me that all the time.

insanity I think what you really mean is "I am sitting here
