GRRRRRRRR I cannot stand it when people say they brought something when they mean that they bought it. I don't understand why this is so difficult to understand!

And whilst I am on a hormonal rant, it is pronounced AITCH people, NOT Haitch!!!!!

Oh I feel a bit better now, thank you (phew!)

I just wonder how these people who confuse bought and brought get on at a Bring and Buy sale. Their heads must explode.

I wondered that as I wrote it :)
Does anyone else have that issue that the more that you look at a word the less "right" it looks?

Stealth, yes I get that sometimes. Sometimes, I will doubt that certain words exist if I think about them too much.
