Sometimes we put the wrong words in. And sometimes they're not words at all Over the last few years I've tried to sort out my spelling (and grammar) so that when I write things down they make proper sense to everyone.

 

Today we are going to tackle the word 'brought'

 

This word is often used instead of 'bought' which is what you would say after you went to the shop to buy something: 'I bought this today'

 

'Brought' is for when you went to bring something: 'I brought this over for you'

 

So there you have it,

Buy - bought

Bring - brought

 

I should have been a teacher lol

[SebringRS]

Im not sure they allow teachers like you anymore Phil

I read a Yahoo news article the other day where the journalist had used brought instead of bought. Seriously, if people in jobs like that can't get it right then what hope is there for the rest of us?

It's all a matter of context Col (A). Without a sentence to point to the meaning, and so the pronunciation of the word.

 

Why do we not have separate and unique words for every situation? I don't know

And there endeth the lesson. Or is it Endith? pmsl

[BaileyMex]

Personally, and from a totally unbiased point of view which demonstrates an equilibrium of opinion in the correct use between the grammatically correct and befuddling English language and the more colloquial layman dialect used by the masses, I conclude that it as a load of old 'the round ones' and u shud spik eszaktlee howe u fookin wanna as long as you get your point across init!!

 

Unless you need to adapt your mannerisms to suit a situation where you need to act proper M'Lord

 

That is all

[BaileyMex]

Also on a side note,

 

I have on all my computers the Google Toolbar, which has the spell checker,

 

This works on pretty much every web site AND Forum so if you are not sure you have an online Spell checker for most situations

and to end this fine thread on a higher note
