PossibleUnderscore I remember in the early days of my schooling we learnt to use brang instead of brought in a certain tense, but I can't seem to recall what that tense was. Comparing both words on Wordnik (where else would I go?? ;-) ) I can only find that brang is 'dialect, colloquial, informal'... Mar 1, 2011

ruzuzu Well... okay... that's a good point. The funny part for me is that brang seems perfectly reasonable, but brung sounds like what folks to the south might say. Must just be what I grew up with.
