Where did the mysterious "r" interloper come from? It's hardly as if brought is a word in common usage. Or at least not in my world it's not.

Your indicates possession.
You're is a contraction of you are.

Works that way too.

Oh, it is so confusing.

Woman at work does this... it's really quite annoying!!

[Republik]

This really fking does my head in.

I explained this to my girlfriends mate who exclaimed, "I just brought some new shoes."

No, you bought new shoes, not brought.

Her reply was, "you can use both though, can't you?"

[Adrian Swarl]

It's easy really, 'brought' is from 'bring', 'bought' is from 'buy'.

It must be a wonderful place.
