Mine is that no-one seems able to say "brought" any more. They all
say "bought" as past tense of "bring". (yet no-one says "bing" :-) )

Good grief! Thankfully I haven't yet heard that one.

First heard on Classic FM : "the weather forecast is bought to you by
Powergen". Then Princess Michael of Kent : "our son wasn't bought up
to ..." So common on the soaps now that my wife can hardly bring
(bing?) herself to say "brought" any more!

When she did bing herself, then she would of bought herself to say
"brought".
