    here you go, ask the seller if he could tell me what listing said, this is the reply.

    There are several spelling mistakes, but use your common sense.The advert has been spell checked but spelling and grammar are not strong points. Iv not had time to ask anyone to read it through for me. Sorry if it doesn't make much sense but don't hesitate to ring me for further details on the contact number supplied.

    Spell checked, must be the american version (j/k) :p

    NO way, that message must have been written by someone else ;)

    No way it's been spellchecked... unless he clicked 'ignore' to every alert!

    I think he's on a wind-up.

    I think it is more likely that the author of that listing is dyslexic, hardly something we should be laughing at.

    I agree that they should have used a spellchecker to minimise the bad spelling, but still no reason to laugh at them.

    Ok - I figured it out. Spellcheckers don't correct words in ALL CAPS! (At least not mine)

  • quite true. If he's not dyslexic then it's funny but if he is then we shouldn't laugh.

    Seller could very well be dyslexic, but makes no mention of this anywhere or in reply. And a dyslexic person knowing this would get someone to proof read it, dont you think.

  • Either way I think he took note it's almost all correct now
