"Purchased." Just say "bought." There is absolutely no difference in meaning or connotation except for how pretentious it sounds.

how is purchased pretentious? it's everyday language.

It's not natural to think of saying purchased before bought. It just isn't. You'd only do it if for some reason you think bought is overused or boring so you need a synonym.

NAYRT

Oddly enough, when I worked in retail, I heard purchased more than bought (probably 2:1). Store employees and customers used "purchased" almost equally, to boot.

lmao "it's not natural"

I'm all for simpler language, but as long as the word or words being used don't take away from what is meant, I don't care if someone wants to use a synonym. And "purchase" is hardly an abuse of the thesaurus, if at all.

Say, if "purchase" is totally unnatural, I propose we rewrite U.S. history and call it the "Louisiana Got-Bought-Thingy."

"Louisiana Got-Bought-Thingy."

I actually snorted at that one. :)

please submit your proposal to Harcourt-Brace so that our textbooks can be purged of this unnatural scourge.

Really?

"Purchased" is pretentious?

Gathering my bowels' stores of methane, my rectal folds expel intestinal fumes in your general direction.

If your bowels have stores of methane, you either epically won or really lost the intestinal bacteria lottery. I'd have gone with one of the sulfur compounds for this declaration, myself.

But I went through all the trouble of purchasing the matches!

You might be able to get hydrogen sulfide to ignite, so the person will get flames AND an exceptionally potent smell.
