I see this often enough that...

I know it's used quite a bit here, but I'm not a fan of the term "learn me" or "because racecar" or because [insert car type here].

Neither of those examples actually bother me. I think it is because I read it and think of "English as a Second Language".

Don't forget the tenses of the verb bring, as in bring, brang and brung. If you had previously brought something, you brung it, but it you took, or returned it you can be said to have brang it away. I didn't never know that until I got told by some guy with a English majer.

When Norm Crosby did it... it was funny....
