To actually hate people who say bought instead of brought

[GentleButter]

Why?
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY BOUGHT WHEN THEY SHOULD SAY BROUGHT?
It's unbearable.
I cannot bear it when someone says it.
I'm polite, so I have to use every muscle in my throat and mouth to stop myself from screaming "But you didn't BUY it! So WHY are you saying BOUGHT????"
It happens constantly.
I was in a meeting at work. Someone said "Yes, I bought this issue up the other day" internally, I screamed "But you didn't BUY this issue, so WTF are you saying you BOUGHT it?".
This goes on and on all around me.
Worst of all, my own husband says it, which is insufferable. No amount of me correcting him will make him understand the nonsense of saying 'bought' when he should say 'brought'. And he went to private school, so he was well educated and he still can't get it right. There's no excuse.

I have a friend who does it the other way round and says 'I brought this top at the new shop in town' drives me nuts!

What's wrong with people??

Present and presant
Affect and effect

I don’t think I have ever heard someone say that. At risk of reaching peak MN … could it be a regional thing?

My pet hate is when people use “text” instead of “texted” for past tense e.g. “I text her yesterday but she didn’t answer”.

I have never seen this. Always the other way around though.

Almost as bad as people who seem incapable of understanding the difference between borrow and lend.

You are lucky.
I hear it all the time. I drives me demented.
I don't understand why people don't want to make any sense when they speak.

'Been' instead of 'being' pisses me off.

Only ever heard this the other way round, but the level of rage is the same.

What’s ‘presant’?

Again only ever the other way round and it's infuriating.
Also been/being and does/dose. Also 'carnt' fir 'can't', usually typed in a massive ramble with lots of !!!!!!

Would of, Could of, Should of, that's another one that drives me nuts.
"Can you do me a borrow?" 🤦‍♀️

I'm a pedant but that is a very regional thing

I'll add 'defiantly' and 'go toilet' to that list.

I give you would have and would of

Now I'm getting wound up, mil says 'do you wanna go wee'

Present and presant

There's no such word as 'presant'.

Draw instead of drawers does it for me.

Some people say tennant instead of tenant. Drives me potty! And 'alot' instead of 'a lot.'

There are lots of examples like this, I suspect this one irks you so much because your dh does if. My dm mispronounces the name of a friend and it drives me around the bend.

I'm a teacher and the one that bugs me the most is kids mixing up our and are, I think because of their regional accents.

I've only ever noticed it the other way around. It's equally annoying though.

His in place of he's is the one I see at least once a week on my feed. "His done so well on his mocks!" actually hurt my mind because how can you use something correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence?! Baffling.

My mum says Peter bread instead of pita bread. Makes me want to claw my ears off.

I’ve only ever seen it the other way round and it makes my teeth itch!

I've only ever seen it written.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it before
