What is it with people thinking theyve "brought" a car?

[giggle]

Ive BOUGHT quite a few over the years and ive yes ive brought them back home.

I suppose its like Chimley

TOO many TO mention.

[FarQue]

Your joking!

[Magic919]

Since we are in the Porsche section, typing "it's" as though it is some kind of possessive apostrophe.

[OlberJ]

Ha, and i thought this was going to be a thread about finance.

[OlberJ]

Btw, Giggle, it's "they've".

Your weclome.

What is it with people trying to be clever by picking up on simple spelling / grammatical mistakes made by other people and then making numerous basic punctuation errors themselves...???

Right on giggle, it's a pet hate of mine too. It's very prevalent in many forums now. What are the schools teaching them nowadays? I blame the teachers, most of them don't have a good grasp on English grammar, they've grown up in the text speak era and have scant disregard for correct punctuation etc.

Oh please let my post be grammatically correct.

A lot of the cars I've brought have been 'sort' after examples.
Some have even needed sorting after I brought them!

That really does my nut in that one.

bought/brought could quite easily be an auto-correct slip up bought the sort after mob really grind my gears.

I find that the 'sort after' examples are usually in 'concourse' condition.
