You would have thought the company would have employed people who were more literate. I was trying to understand these gems from roughanready86 :- "YOU DONT AFTER JOIN THE CLUB ITS NO OBLIGATION"

I think that should read "You don't have to join the club. There's no obligation".

And "these are gauranteed on the day so you dot after wait weeks on end to receive them plus enjoy the full day with your family at either of the two 5 star resorts"

But I suppose that standard of English sums up the mentality of the people who work for these shysters.

You dont after join the club its no obligation. (IN CAPITALS!)

I know we should not mock the afflicted. And I do know that we should not be picking on poor typing and grammar and punctuation. But, boy or boy, this does show the level of this concern.

It also shows the type of idiot this company employs

in regaurds to chris.s post

i have no control over who is a member or who struggles to make payments so it is not possible for me to ammend what Mr Duffy requires resolving i myself feel sorry for him but its not something i can change. I do know that people are struggling but that doesnt mean that everyone is against the company.
There is a legal terms and conditions that every single person who is a member at one point agreed that they are happy to take on for X ammount of years be it 18 month or 25 years regardless to situations they still agreed they would join for that ammount of time. So as that is the case it would be out of my control to even change anything as i dont hve a say in that as much as i would like to help certain people i.e i have already bought points personally of people on MSE to try help them and have also tried passing my own family to buy points of people on here so its not like i have not tried to do a part.

....

Now as for ANTENNA calling me a liar thief and scumbag i'd love to know at what point have i lied stole or been low to anyone i suggest you choose your words what you say instead of calling me something im clerly not which i find offensive. This is a open forum which says that it is open for discussion on praise and warnings i am just having my say on what is also allowed oterwise dont you think i would of been banned from the site for what i have said.

p.s has for people insulting my English that is just lame so what i miss few words or make a few spelling mistakes but what does that have to do with a disscusion on holidays and companies absolutely nothing.

The fact remains that Diamond Resorts still offers the finest holidays in the holiday business and will always remain the leading private ownership brand in the world. with reaching almost 400,000 members and with the largest variety of resorts offering high 5 diamond quality as a standard.

Could we have that in English please?

It does go to show that the average DR employee has an Intelligence Quotient lower than their shoe size.

Sorry roughanready86 if you cannot understand those long words.

for anyone to have there own point of say.

That should be "their" and not "there".

And what the hell is a "point of say" ?

Well. . . A point of say is a Diamond Resorts promotion that dispenses with the original need to acquire several thousand points for some undefined purpose and instead provides just one point for a one-off payment (but excluding management charges) of £37,526 including VAT.

"Owners" of this one point can then have their say, i.e., they can actually specify the accommodation they want, in the location they prefer, at the time of their choosing, providing -- naturally -- they give Diamond Resorts at least 30 months' advance notice.

For a further £117,600 Diamond Resorts might even consider allowing them to book via the Internet, just like any other reputable outfit, instead of having to, er, resort to ringing a telephone number, much as one did eighty years ago. However, there's no guarantee of this.

Of course, roughandready clearly believes, and so states, Diamond Resorts is the biggest and best in the world and most up to date etc etc yet were I him, I'd be looking for a new employer pretty soon, seeing as how DR can hardly be that financially well-founded if, as it has repeatedly said, it bought the company without fully realising the scale of liabilities or the state it was in (hence the excuses it keeps giving to "members" for racking up the management charges.)

I'm not sure what employment roughandready might qualify for but in view of his continuing commitment to a circus act like Diamond Resorts, finding a role as a clown somewhere shoudn't be too difficult.

And as any fule know, klownz don after spel. . .

I think what roughanready86 actually meant was "Point and Say".This is a range of educational books for the very young. That's probably on the book list for the course he's doing at college.:-
