Bring and Buy

Lack of understanding of English grammar.

 

Yes Deleted member 11267, It's something that annoys me alot. I'm not an expert in English by a long way but, I do always try to use the correct word and spelling.

My elderly mother annoys me by using the made up word "Turnt"

 

Well coming from the Black Country I no me gramma ay upta much so I bay Gona say owt abart it.

 

My dad used the word 'Turnt' at least 40 years ago,maybe longer.

It dates back to early 19th century, meaning 'someone turnt up', turned up, most likely county slang.

The meaning today has changed though., it's now

'A state of altered consciousness induced by alcohol or narcotics, also being happy and excited and energetic'

 

Well, you learn something new everyday!

 

Terms that annoy me: Off of meaning off, learn them meaning teach them and shop assistants, nurses etc. who say for me instead of please

 

Well, for a starter, 'brought' doesn't translate as 'to bring'.

It translates as 'did bring'!

Draw instead of 'drawer'.
The fudge is that about?

 

How much?

 

Nah. Don't want it.

'One of the draw stops is sitting...'

Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

Grammar: the difference between knowing your **** and knowing you're ****.

 

Nowt wrong wi a bit I slang.
Darn pit, me dad used t say, yo luck afar ya hoss n ya hoss 'll look afta yo.

Language is a fluid thing that changes constantly. Get over yourselves.

 

I blame those pesky Saxons.
