You'll love this one!

That's the American spelling too Rufus - be afraid, be very afraid about where your data is being held

Here's an elegant word I've learned today! Our ISP has " anonymized ' our data in order to give it to 3rd. parties! Is that reversible?

KITTY, first they bought it at the supermarket, then they brought it home, just a few words missing. (Wink)

I have a problem with people saying “ I brought ( bought) such and such from the supermarket !!

English teacher sitting here hanging head in shame.

Charliegirl she was , fortunately, not an English teacher. We did wonder how she had got her promoted posts but everyone assumed that her written Englsh was of a good standard.
GrandetanteJE65 I've lost count of the times I heard ' Miss, that's the bell went!' from my pupils as they got ready to go.

Niobe, I'm sure you know the old joke about that lady teaching in the Gorbals in Glasgow who ignored the bell one day, whereupon a boy said, "Please miss, the bell has went." She replied, "No, it hasn't". The child replied, "I said, Miss, the bell has goed!"

The English language is full of pitfalls. (I almost wrote 'potholes!). Perhaps the verb 'bring' was confused with "ring, rang, rung".

OMG Niobe I hope she did not teach English.

Before I retired I was a teacher in Glasgow and one day the classes were being called over the tannoy to have photographs taken in the assembly hall. I had a class of 14 year olds when one of the deputy head teachers came on the tannoy to request " Would class xx come tae the hall tae git thir photies took". Being a polite person I said nothing, the class fell silent, I glanced at them, they looked at each other and then at me before every single one burst out laughing. Including me!

I agree dragonfly coming out of a school, to me, it is 10 times worse than seeing pear's and apple's for sale at discounted prices, advertised locally.

I think I could not let this one go. As an ex teacher myself it really brings (bringed/brung) the profession into disrepute.

MissAdventure did you brang that to anybody's attenshun at the skool? You should have done.

Well, I'm glad you brang that to our attention.

It could have been me although I don't remember being there.

I accidentally brunged a coat out of the cloakroom at nursery, put it on DGD who did not say 'this isn't mine' and we started walking home.

Mother of the owner of said coat chased up the road after me and brunged me back again.

Who writ that then? The culprit at the school should be outed!

It will have been someone in the office.
Seeing as "your" instead of "you're" is the norm everywhere now. I am not surprised about brung - although autocorrect doesn't like it

They probably got one of the Littlies to write it - teachers are SO busy these days.

BTW Has anyone noticed the propensity to write, 'prolly' rather than 'probably'?

Yes, I think they may as well have written that.

If your kid has nicked a coat ...

Its some sort of automated system, but obviously has that 'human' touch.

Jalima I think I do also. I would still like to know who wrote it.

brung
It's dialect according to the OED
bring, brang, brung

which means it is not correct English grammar!!

I prefer 'bringed' myself

Misadventure - you ain't told us wever or not it was your child wot bringed it.

surely it should be broughted?
