TOTALLY AGREE. I know its fun but those with learning difficulties (and he states that in the reply) have had enough crap about it through their lives without someone making fun of their listing. I know its fun here - but not in front of them. I've taught enough kids / youth with LDs to know their self esteem is often at floor level. IMHO it is worth them spending some time with a spellchecker / getting someone else to check the listing to learn and make it look correct though. Lazy idiots who use text speak. that's another story!

Am I right in thinking that with just a little effort he could vastly improve his listing spelling. One of his listings 994941009 has the title "altinator" - he'll miss many potential buyers who are doing a search for alternator. If he knows his spelling is not the best, why not at least run it past a spellchecker first. He'll get a better response to his ads, and we won't have to shudder when reading his queens english.

Yes. Far. Far too old and bigoted! Who in this day and age uses the term "Retards" anyway go back to the 70's bro. Like others have pointed out the dude may have a learning disability or had a head injury or umpteen other reasons his spelling and grammar was not great, perhaps you sitting up there on your high horse might want to come down and volunteer your time to help out at a community literacy programme, seeing as you are an English language professor??
