I was so happy that Obama won (pity it wasn’t Paul in spite of the religious thing, but faced with a choice of Obama/Biden and Insane/Caribou Barbie, there’s no contest), then was abruptly thrust back into cold reality when someone whose first language is English used, as the past tense of bring, the word….brung. No shit–not brought….brung. This was supposed to be a legitimate political observation.

He just wants to fix this country, and has proved it through both the issues he has brung up, but more importantly, through his voting.

How the fuck does a person begin a reasonably intelligent sentence (I’ll give him “has proved”, though “proved” or “has proven” would have been better), manage to spell correctly “importantly” (which I’ve seen spelt “importently”, since that’s how it sounds, and “portent” is a word), and correctly navigate the through/threw homophone, then somehow turn up with….brung? WTF?
