"They brought a house"

[RunAwayFromWinter]

Every time I read on here that someone brought something online or from a shop...Aargh! I feel the strong urge to scream. Anyone else similarly affected?

Same! I cannot STAND it! This atrocity is seen regularly in reviews online. Especially on Amazon

Another I cannot wrap my brain around is; OPs friend has asked for a loan of £50, OP asks; should I borrow her this? you would be loaning her it!!!

Brought instead of bought is my absolute biggest pet peeve. It's killing me on the Christmas threads atm!

I am very similarly affected!

While I am quite the pedant, I do think this may be a dialectic variation around the country.

Oops, typo! Dialect not dialectic!

Wow, bringing a house somewhere would be some sort of fear!

Ugh, with you on loan, and similarly, 'itched' as a verb (as my infant school aged child seems to have picked up at school).

My pet peeve right now, is, anyways. So obviously influenced by American conversational style narrators in books and TV dialogue.

Arggghh.

Feat! Damn autocorrect!

Drives me bonkers, too. I just don’t understand it - how can you confuse ‘to bring’ with ‘to buy’?!

Did they bye it or not though?!

What ? People actually say brought instead of bought? I haven't seen that.

Big static caravan on the back of a low loader and it works a treat.

That's a dialect thing, definitely. I couldn't get my head around it when I lived in Scotland.

Have and of really gets to me.

@idontlikealdi
I am Scottish and I've only ever seen it on MN, definitely not heard it here.

I'm Irish and never see it here either, but it gets mentioned on here. Maybe it's a rhotic/non-rhotic thing? Not sure if they sound similar in a non-rhotic accent.

If I'm in a bad mood, I'll reply 'Where are you bringing it from?'

I can hold my tongue most of the time, but if I'm in a bad mood, people being thick as two short planks REALLY grates on me.

For one thing I would say lending not loaning, where I live (and in the Oxford English dictionary) loan is a noun.

All be it.

Gets coat...

There's a lot of gifting and loaning where I would give and lend.

'Purposefully' might be a perfectly acceptable alternative to 'purposely' or 'deliberately', according to the dictionary and every other person in the world, but it annoys me.

Pacific instead of specific, and spear instead of sphere are my pet hates.

Oh my goodness yes! Same with could of / should of...it is SHOULD HAVE! 😂😤

Yes I know - could of and should of - aargh! While writing this post I just discovered that my phone autocorrects these and won't even let me type them

Listed for sale - Chester draws.

Its chest of drawers you fucking numbskull.

First time posting here, hope it's ok😁 am I the only one noticing the constant bear instead of bare? Also I too get annoyed with should/could of instead of have

Recommend me something.

Drives me mad. It's recommend something to me although I could recommend you to someone if you stopped misusing the word recommend.
