Writing ads

[hogpatrol]

The best at spelling and grammar are those that attended Our Lady of Perpetual Motion school and were taught by Sister Mary Menopause. Don't ask me how I know.

I know what you mean ''hog'', Sister Mary loved my ''Butt''

Posting here about your grips, frustrations,ect. with posts , especially those that post something TOTALLY off topic on a question & FS,WTT,& vWTB posts is like peeing your pants while wearing dark trousers . It may feel good for a while, but no one really notices or cares.
Hell, the majority of people putting items up for WTS,WTT,WTB are to lazy to put 3 letters in the title of their post.

Without spell check and grammar check, I'd be functionally illiterate.

Spell check must work differently for you. I think it sucks. I get tired of correcting spellcheck . I need to deal with it but kan't.

Was that Mary Horny ?

Could everyone please use some kind of proper writing skills? I have seen several ads that are near incomprehensible due to the lack of commas, periods & even spaces.
If you are going to go to the trouble to list something please read what you typed before posting. I make grammatical errors all the time but if I have multiple items for sale at least you can tell when one ends and another begins. I just tried to read an ad where somebody has multiple barrels for sell, couldn’t even tell you how many due to combining sentences, lack of spaces, no commas etc., .... made my head hurt so I moved on. Maybe this is some form of texting like my kids do that I just can’t catch onto?
OK, rant over, sorry.

For sale not for sell even the best make mistakes

I sure hope that people are more literate than their internet postings would otherwise indicate.
There have been posts in the past, that after reading more than once, I have no idea what information is trying to be conveyed.

I have learned in internet selling, that you cant
write the perfect ad. No matter how well you describe
the item, there will always be someone who will
find a loophole to ask a question. In most cases its
not that they want to make a purchase, its what
this person does for recreation.
The perfect example of this: Is this item still for sale.
My reply,"yes", but you never hear from him again.
It just goes w/the territory. LDS

I totally agree. This^^^^^ is why I never sell any Guns!!. It's just toooooo hard!

Exactly what I am referring too..

 

[Cloudrepair]

With spell check I do ok
Grammar I'm not sure I can be helped
What is punctuation

In all seriousness, be weary of poorly written ads. The likelihood of being scammed goes up. This is sometimes because the writer doesn't speak English well, and sometimes it's intentional to weed out the savvy buyer who's just going to waste the scammer's time.

Well, each one is special in it's own way. I put a lot of thought into buying every gun I own. Why would I change my mind now?
I do have one gun I'd sell. It's a Browning X-Bolt 223 Varmint Special. Out of 300 rounds of different bullet/powder combinations, it won't print better than an inch at 100. I'll sell ya that one!

[joshb]

Well, that's "a lot of thought" for me, sometimes.

Edit: Of course, some are no brainers!!!
