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.

The OP says she screamed internally so the other meeting attendees were unaware of this.

“Can you borry me a drill?” (or similar) when I lived in London 😱

That's the spirit!

You're learning to act like an adult on the internet 😁

I have never heard anyone say this. Sometimes it can be because they have misheard a word when young and it has not been heard or spoken, very often, therefore nobody corrects them. My ExH mispronounced the word chimney as chimley until he was corrected at 21, purely because he'd misheard it.

People who say 'less' when they mean 'fewer'.

Also people who say everythink instead of everything.

Also people who use double negatives not even thinking about the logic of what they're saying. For example saying "I didn't do nothing" when they actually mean "I didn't do anything".

You should of brung it up at the time . It’s too late to drawer attention to it on here now.

Fazed and phased! See that one on here all the time. ‘DH is not phased’ 😵‍💫

Don't do it then unless they've asked you to mark their work.

Oh for crying out loud - we all have different strengths, surely that’s not a tricky concept to grasp?

My post clearly went over your head.

Oh God this is so true.
I see this all the time too!
I work in a professional setting and there are signs up at work saying "This way to the toilet's". I feel like writing across it "The toilet's what?" And another sign saying "In case of emergency's". When I saw this I lost the will to live. Never mind the emergency. Just spell the bloody word correctly.
I see it all the time outside of work to. An apostrophe instead of a pleural spelling.
What is going on with these people?

Brought as in bring. So just remember the R.

Bought for buy.

Yes, let's pretend it did.

Either way, ignoring poor spelling and grammar by strangers on the internet (unless you genuinely can't understand them), is the adult thing to do.

Yes.
Hate.

Prolly instead of probably.

I done them letters instead of I’ve done those letters (hospital admin office).

It learns them instead of it taught them.

I hope everyone’s proofing their posts. The hunters are out tonight 👀🍿🍿

Also ‘textses’ instead of ‘texts’. Hear that one all the time.

My boss used to say ‘generally’ instead of ‘genuinely’.

Presant?

I’m really hoping this is some genius response to the tedious predictability of this thread we have seen many times before.

Reign it in.

No! It’s a phrase from horse riding, not the monarchy.

Mostly I notice, and don't care if it's people chatting on the internet etc. As long as you get your meaning across, we all understand what's meant.

But occasionally it drives me mad.

Currently I am going squinty and twitchy eyed about people saying 'apart' when they mean 'part.'

grrrrrr

My sister got a bottle of shampoo from the vet with 'For the treatment of canine minge' on the label 🤣🤣

Hoping it was just a typo!

Even worse is people on selling sites selling ‘Chester draws.’

How just how?!

I can’t cope with people saying ‘borrowed’ in the wrong way .. eg ‘he borrowed me a pen’ and ‘can you borrow me a pen?’ Gahhh

I noticed two elderly family members saying "corvid" (pronounced as in the crow family of birds), instead of "covid" to refer to the Corona virus at the start of the pandemic. I was too polite to correct them and then the moment passed and they are still pronouncing it corvid. Wish I had corrected 4 years ago.

I hear lots of people saying “generally” when they mean “genuinely”.
