    It was rule 1 and a little part of rule 2 that he broke. No need for the sarcasm.

    its not often someone has to be banned from this forum
    so the ban feature has to be tested on someone every once in a while to make sure its working

    And SEVEN years later "Brang" is still not in the OED :)

    It's not a word, never has been a word and never will be a word in the English language!

    Is 'noone' (which I cant help but read as noon) a word? Or am I missing something? A tap of the spacebar perhaps?? :D:D

    Yes, a tap of the spacebar will do so it'll be "no one"

    What is the story here? I say brang ALL THE TIME instead of brought. I always thought it was just a variation but by girlfriend pulls me up on it all the time and says it's not a real word. It's not in dictionary.com but if you google it you see that in some dialects it is used. I'm australian born, I wonder is it a remnent of my old accent (I moved to Ireland 12 years ago but I stll have some things like pronouncing the letter "r" I say "aaarr" whereas Irish people pronounce it more like "oar"). Maybe it will be one of those words that gets accepted as a word as so many people use it?

    No mate ,not a proper word 'brought' is the one you want.

    never heard a single person using that word.

    pronunciation and grammar are two different fish.

    It's one of those words, I guess, that appears wherever an, ahem, lower grade of English is spoken.

    F'rinstance, I use an made-up past tense of a modern term - 'emailing' - instead, I write, or even say, 'emole'.

    Seems sensible to me.

    But 'brang' is NOT a word in the English language. Trust me, I'm a fluent speakeriser. ;)
