    When I search for monsoon items and get primark stuff in the results because they've put monsoon in the description boxes (am I right to report these items?).
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Just because you don't care about English doesn't mean other people don't. :rolleyes:

    Bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation are things that put a lot of people off because it makes the seller seem like a chav.

    So please don't denigrate the efforts of those who point out errors that might, if repeated on a listing, cause the loss of a sale.

    If you're not bothered just ignore the post but other people may appreciate the information.

    But everyone makes spelling errors from time to time, to have them pointed out like you are in class is petty IMHO.
    Assuming I don't care about English is a mistake on your part.
    I also don't appreciate being told what to do, as it is my choice to comment or not.
    Nothing more to add as will not turn this into an argument.

    It's the fact that they said they dislike bad grammar and spelt it wrong that I find amusing.

    But you don't mind implicitly telling someone else what to do by qoting their post and putting ":rolleyes: Oh !!!!!!" after it?

    Rather hypocritical of you.

    And, BTW, I didn't tell you what to do, I said 'please' so it was nothing more than a request.

    Well, at least that's something. ;)
