Default it it just a scooby thing

When people often say they 'brought' something when they obviously mean bought. Is it just cool or gangsta or something to say brought, or are they just feckwits.

In case of feckwittery, brought means something somebody brings. Bought means something somebody buys.

It simply indicates that they're too f*cking stupid to speak English properly. They probably say 'your' (meaning you are or you're), 'to' (meaning too), 'could of' (meaning could have or could've) etc. and are completely flummoxed by there / they're / their too.....

All too clever to pay attention at school: look at them now.

Not forgetting you're all loosers

I don't know if it's a scooby thing, but it's definitely a Snet thing to correct it !

Don't forget capitals and full stops!
My personal favourite is "its" and "it's".

On the basis that many people struggle with the spoken word in this country, it's hardly surprising they can't spell either.

Spelling, spelling!! It's the grammar that gets me! You only need to take a cursory look through the sales on FleaBay to realise that our schools are producing a nation of muppetty feckbunnies!! I've been a teacher for over 34 years, - the last 20 in Special Education. I know why my lot can't spell too good but what's with the rest of you numpty pilchards! Yore givin us lot a reel bad Name! Thirty years ago I couldn't spell Teacher - now I are one! Feckkin Hell !!!!!!!!!!!! There's NO HOPE.

There is a spell checker built into the advanced reply, isn't there?

Spelling & bad Grammar boil my **** too, I make mistakes in posts, sometimes, but some people are more worried about mashing the keyboard in some vague attempt to ask a question. Lets not forget that the fullstop, comma & exclamation mark have now been replaced with "lol"
