Please can people not use "bidded", I know my English and spelling isn't the best but for some reason that word just drives me nuts.
Rant Off
Thanks

I guess some people just don't know it's not a genuine word, and mistakenly use it.
I get annoyed by the brought/bought, where people just get it wrong.It's BOUGHT (to Buy), not BROUGHT (to bring) AND you cannot be frauded, only DEfrauded.
Please do not buy animals from a pet store. Visit your local sanctuary or centre and give a good home to an unloved or abandoned animal.0 -

It makes me start reading in rhyme and then when it doesn't rhyme my brain explodes and then I have to clean it up and start again... And yes I know it doesn't have to rhyme to be poetry etc etc
**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D

"try and" instead of "try to" - it's the small things that annoy me because they are easily avoidable, but it's clear to see the difference between misuse and mis-typing.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0
