Using staunchion instead of stanchion and flaring instead of fairing

Here's one for you Kiwis. About 60 - 70 % of you get it wrong all the time.

I came from Nepal in 1996 at the age of 12 and even I could not believe that you guys made such a simple mistake so often.

So here it is:

I bought the car from the dealer.

I brought the car from home.

All too often you guys use "brought", when you mean to say "bought".

I mean, we are a bike forum

That's right. We dun brung it home after wee'd byed it.

It has taken me #* yrs (well lots & lots) for me to know when to write - breath or breathe. Up until a few months ago, I would use a dictionary every time. I still have certain (<<) words I can never work out. (yep, just looked it up)

Guess that makes me a bit of a nuff nuff.

Total bullshit and you know it.

Read Headbanger's posts and you'll see he's far more comfortable with the written conventions of English than he'd admit, plus more fluent and literate than he'd like to be perceived. Using the Internet to excuse laziness and disrespect is a personal hobby horse. If you can't be bothered communicating with your target audience legibly then you're just taking the piss.

What! mni, taking the piss? No!

Straight to my office young man.
I'll just have to take you over my knee again. (please, resume the thread, this may take a while )

...so, have you learnt your lesson?

I think you mean fearing. A fave Trade Me one for all you pop pickers.

And the number of uncommon cars/bikes on TradeMe that are 'rear', - what are they? - all arse or something?

The number of sellers on TradeMe who can't even spell the name of the vehicle/product that they own and are trying to sell astounds me -(shit, they only have to look at the big chrome badge on the side of the car to get the spelling!)

All too often you guys use "brought", when you mean to say "bought". (particularly common in the deep south of the South Island)

And then there's the combination word: 'broughrt' - covers all situations!

[MotoKuzzi]

That's "cool while it lasted, eh?"

eh, aye, eh, aye, oh!! The great Kiwi "eh", as in "eh bro!" is under threat in modern journalism.

Or as my dear old Grandmother used to drum into us..."Bring-Brought...Buy-Bought."
