pistonbroke Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Seems more and more on here are "broughting" bits for there cars can it really be that hard to tell the differnence between the past tense of "buying something" and the past tense of "bringing something" or is just the fact we are too lazy and dont give a **** about the proper use of english Quote

Geoff101 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 It's regional thing. Everyone round Oxfordshire seems to do it. Still wrong though. Quote
bigals Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I have to say that if you’re dyslexic, things like this are invisible so it’s not always laziness, just word blindness, when any of the team I lead at work takes the micky out of my spelling and grammar, the best defence I have found, is to remind them that if I am a thick what does that make them as I am in charge normaly results in a quick change of subject, now i am off to by myself somfing on from that web sight called flebay Quote
mikef Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Pistonbroke - One of my pet hates as well. I notice the BBC frequently get it wrong. Oh well! Declining standards................................. Quote
M444TTB Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 While I agree I'd make sure my own spelling and punctuation were flawless if I were to post about it! I do know people that say they 'brought' something when the meant 'bought'. Others only seem to type it. Perhaps that's dyslexia? Quote
pistonbroke Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 seems its being discussed elsewhere http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=748426&hw=brought&nmt=Bought%20/%20Brought Quote
Young Pretender Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 The one and only grammatical faux pas that really grinds my gears is when people say somethink or anythink. Most people do this. Quote
bigals Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Quick survey before I offend anyone with my appalling English skills, would the majority of members rather have posts that have accidental errors. Or not have posts from members who are likely to make mistakes? Quote
M444TTB Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 So long as they are legible I don't care. There are a number of users on PistonHeads that must not be very bright as they claim to be unable to understand something with a simple error. Quote

alexander72 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 methinks people are confusing written "grammar" with oral "pronunciation".... my pet hate is when my children add 5 "likes" into every sentence..... Quote

Grammar can have quite a broad meaning actually, it's not just written language.. So phonology, phonetics, pronunciation etc..even semantics. All considered grammar. Quote
