why do some people say brought instead of bought?

[_Natalie_]

I've never noticed folk saying brought instead of bought, but I'm sure I'll keep seeing it now! I'm also guilty of spelling definitely wrong, I only realised a few weeks ago that it's spelt definitely, I've always spelt it definately!

I'm from Glasgow, but recently moved to Aberdeen, and I still can't get used to the dialect here- the use of the word "ken" instead of "know" is so funny. I've also heard the word "mattress" being pronounced "mattr- aasss" up here, lol x

I hate it when people pronounce primark as premark! It's spelt with an I not an e!
And my friend always goes mad at me because I pronounce the charity shop "help the aged" as help the age ed. Does that make sense?

On the charity adverts in Morrison's they pronounce it age ed too. I also hate people who say mataland instead of matalan lol. I've got a lot of hates really.xx

It is help the age-ed though. That's just the word it is lol.

And I hate it when people call it mataland too. I just want to scream THERE'S NO D!!!!

But I don't lol.

The definitely one used to get me too! Until I realised it was all based around the word FINITE as in for sure. So you just make sure that it has finite in it - definitely then you know it's right. Really worked for me lol! Xx

It's amazing how we pick up little tricks to correct our spelling.

I could never spell the word beautiful before the film Bruce Almighty came out because he breaks it down whenever he says it. I've spelt it right ever since.

I use 'one colour, two socks' to spell necessary, because there's one c and two s's. I got that from Bell on emmerdale years ago lol.
