Brought something new and want to share you views on it?
Bought

Brought is when you bring something from somewhere
Bought is when you have paid for something

stealthwolf:
The problem is that spellcheckers would not differentiate between brought and bought. Even a grammar checker wouldn't pick it up. You need something with intelligence (ie human) to be able to do the correction.

There's nothing stopping you from correcting everyone's replies but I doubt you'd be looked upon favorably.

Hahaha, this is actually my number one irritation! I've mentioned it a few times, when people have used it half a dozen times in the same short sentence, but really you're asking too much to expect that everyone will use perfect grammar, punctuation and spelling all the time. There are worse offences, text speak being one of them.

Sadly I think it's a poor reflection on schooling nowadays that so many people make basic errors with the English language :confused:

I see this on so many forums, not good at all.....

I can understand normal spelling errors but this is two different meanings all togeather..

vRStu:
It's up there with txt spk as being most annoying.
