BROUGHT or BOUGHT
I get disproportionally irritated by the use of the word 'brought' when it should be 'bought', to the point where i would stop reading a post if i came across 'brought', broughtophobia perhaps. Do people deliberately type or even say the word 'brought' when they have purchased something? or is it just a common typo?

New on on me. My pet peeve is the "loose" instead of "lose" thing.

Fully agreed, i simply do not understand how you can "brought a car" and mean that you swapped it for some money. WTF?

Ehh??
Are you saying that in school you were taught to use bRought ?
I can not fathom this at all, brought means that you brought something from somewhere else (im trying to explain it in simpleton terms)
ie: i picked up a didlo and brought it to work
Bought means that you paid money for an object "i have just bought a *****"

Brought is the past tense of to Bring.buy something, you buy it, when recounting the tale to friends, you didn't go and bring it, you bought it.
