Bought or Brought?

- sickth - no, there's an X in it. It's pronounced sicksth.

That's all very well until you realise it takes 3 seconds to say it, and you've got slavers everywhere

A note for those south of Gretna; he means "drool".

Bought / brought is a pet hate of mine.

If posted on a forum or face ache, I tend to ask "Where did you bring your new car/bike/shoes/cat from?" Quite often the poster doesn't get it and will answer as if I had typed buy instead of bring.

A chavy item of textspeak has no place in a thread which is discussing the intelligent use of the English language!

I wonder if he did actually burst into fits of laughter after writing that, therefore technically, is correct.

What really irritates me is when our daughter is explaining a conversation she had with a friend, instead of saying "She said.........", she says "and she goes .......", "and I go........"

It's not half as irritating as " I was like......" , " and she was like... " when used in the same context

That as well, join the club.

An ex of mine, used to turn around when she was talking to people, then they would turn around, then she would again. I personally can't have a conversation with people if they don't look at you or vice versa.

"He turned around and said this"
"Then I turned around and said no"
"Then Sarah turned around and said why not?"

Used to drive me insane. It would even come out in the middle of sentences for no reason.

".....and he turned around, then we put the stuff on the shelves." or even better was "She turned around...(pause)...and I said this like"

That was a 32 year old by the way who used to think she was great with English.

Plainly not. How was she with French?

[marshalla]

I fear for our youth anyway - they're so easily startled and bemused. Everything's "amazing" these days (if it isn't "amazeballs").

Yes, which is laughing out loud, as I described.

If "rotflmao" had been typed, then I would have asked if he had in fact rolled about on the floor whilst laughing and somehow simultaneously, his arse fell off as a direct result of the laughing.

It is possible to laugh out loud without "bursting into fits of laughter" you know. A single, audibly expressed, chuckle will suffice.

I have no idea, I didn't have the need to speak to her in French.

That's not laughing, that's chuckling.

Oh and congratulations on the successful humour bypass, it obviously went well.

Or perhaps you weren't funny? Oh and you seem to have missed the "French" joke. No matter - have a good day. I should get on with some work.

How some people get this mixed up is beyond me. It literally is basic English. It instantly calls into question your level of education and intelligence. Not only should you be corrected, but you should want to be corrected so that you don't continue to walk around sounding like an uneducated retard, lol.

Doesn't it, though?

OP should of linked to a pacific post so we could see what he means.
