Fixed it for you.

I blame it on the build up of tetrahydrocannabinol and textspeak.

Doesn't fill you full of confidence does it. ?

God that's bad!

Does he mean that the moter keeps up with Sean when he is running?

Assume the username is mis-spelt too?

Would you still feel the same if the seller had a learning difficulty, head injury or other reason for poor written communication.
My spellings pretty average at the best of times.(Thankyou spellcheck).
Trade me is for everyone, not just those under 5ft.

PS. You guys are better than picking holes in peoples adds.

Well you did alright with this post - so somebody placing a listng on TM could do likewise eh?

I think of it more as entertaining those of us that hadn't seen it.

dr.doolittle, Dec 9, 3:38pm
I suppose it's a bit like brushing your teeth. Some folk just cant be bothered.

I'll bet that had a red line under it.

Some of the most illiterate people have been geniuses and some of the most literate have been (or are) complete arse wipes.

design4fun4u, Dec 9, 3:58pm
lol great answer to the question ha ha ha

Agree. Just because someone is slightly illiterate doesn't make them thick by any stretch. There could be any number of reasons as said above. Don't like seeing that word used as a cheap insult either. Those that are genuinely retarded are often the kindest, gentlest, loveliest people and would put a lot of us to shame with their humanity and love.

Had good sense to buy a D21 !

Could not give a flying far.le if the man can spell - just what
his vehicle like and price (not that flash looking lol)
If the man was my lawyer I'd be concerned.

he can probably lift heavy things

mals69, Dec 9, 4:14pm
Yeah cause Nigel Avery was a thicker bugger

The listing being discussed, listing #994939879, does not trouble me. English is obviously the sellers second language and most importantly, the listing states clearly what is for sale and is unambiguous. Give the guy a break, it is a lot better English than most of us could do in German or Japanese for example.

Other listings, questions and answers are much worse, full of text speak and really hard comprehend what the writer meant to say.

Sean can be seen running. oops, runing.

thewomble1, Dec 9, 4:53pm
The spelling got your attention so the ad worked.

mrfxit, Dec 9, 5:01pm
True but unless I was desperate, I would bypass the listing.
With the widespread availability of multilingual spell checkers, theres really no reasonable excuse to write up a listing as bad as that example.
