Mr Motivator Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 (edited) Ok, spelling lesson children.. Bought and Brought. I have notice so many people saying and spelling this word wrong. Here’s an example; Situation 1 "I went to my friend's party and told him that I had BROUGHT some beer with me." Situation 2 "I went to my friend's party and told him that I had BOUGHT some beer from the shop." Bought and Brought, two totally different words with two totally different meanings.

Siders77 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Okayyyyyyy. I don't really see that it matters THAT much for you to make a topic about it. This is a Trials Forum, not an English Forum. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I love this phrase: There’s no time like the present to present the present. :lol: Now when your French / German teachers tell you that English is hard to learn, you know what they mean.

The house is my friends'. (Meaning belonging to more than one friend) Meh, english sucks... :lol: Edited March 24, 2005 by fatmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikenipple Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 It is 'I went to my friend's party' or when it's more than one it's still "friend's". What really pisses me off is when people put an apostrophe in a plural word, such as "bean's," as they're not trying to say 'bean is' or aren't referring to 'bean' as a person... :lol: JT, that's a brilliant phrase (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 It is 'I went to my friend's party' or when it's more than one it's still "friend's". ← Don't think so. Another eg; My friends' bikes have middleburn cranks. My friend's bike has middleburn cranks. :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josephine Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Anything or anyone that possesses something takes an apostrophe and an s e.g. Bob's bike Unless the word ends in s (which means most plurals in english) then it just takes an apostrophe, no extra s required. e.g. Chris' bike, My friends' bikes Joe [language geek] :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one person is ever going to be 100% at spelling, and no one really cares. Its the matter of the post being corehant and understandable, unlike that one. dont take the piss lol yes i know i do post some un useful shit but that was only for a laugh my frame has no one on this forum got a sense of humour anymore?
