Could we have a grammar Don? One that replaces poor grammar and spelling with correct spelling and grammar in a different font.

We could buy one...so we would have bought him and then brought him here to clean up all the brought/bought debate,fury and anger it causes...

Teacher goes to pupil's house and knocks on his door:

Teacher: Can I speak to your mum please?
Pupil: She ain't in.
Teacher: Where's your grammar?
Pupil: She ain't in either.

Nice one OP, also worth adding that it's lose not loose, I swear that one seems more common than bought/brought lately!

Go to GtPlanet (Gran Turismo forum). That's how they roll over there.
They'll even capitalize your sentences

I admit to being slightly bothered the latest epidemic of non/none interchangeability.

It's even worse when people make the same mistake IRL, I worked in retail for a few years and would quite often get people in the shop saying things like "I brought these last week and they don't work" I don't understand how you can make a typo IRL.

Also when people say "I could care less" I always reply "Oh, Could you? You must care a bit then" and they look all confused, The average person isn't that intelligent.

We'd need another to check what he does and another to.....

Well at least you haven't completely overreacted.

Hate it when people don't use definite or indefinite articles in sentence.

FFS PEOPLE!

I don't know why it bothers me this much, I forgive most other grammar crimes but this one for me is unforgivable.

When you buy something you have BOUGHT it, not brought it.

Look at the word, there's no R in it.

Anyone that writes it with an R should be instantly banned from life.

Is it just this pacific issue that winds you up?

OP, I'm glad you bought this up.
