Don't you hate it when people say 'brought' instead of 'bought' For example.... 'I brought a DVD yesterday' <--Smeggin Hell that's not the correct word! It should be, 'I bought a DVD yesterday' More free English lessons next week..... ;D

It should be, 'I a DVD yesterday' More free English lessons next week..... ;D Unless the person meant "I brought a DVD yesterday" with regards to taking somewhere, ie work or some such place. If you, as I suspect you do, mean in terms of purchasing something, then indeed you are correct, it should be bought...... Another: Could of, instead of could have.....

It is contrary to Standard English (a misnomer), a South Eastern form of English which was inflicted on populace by the Southern upper classes two centuries ago. But that doesn't make it wrong.

Absolutely spot on, I was going to post something similar but you've said it perfectly there.
