I once had a good laugh at the " beautiful white lace weeding dress " I saw on Ebay

You'd be amazed at the number of 'Frig Frezzers' that appear on my local Freecycle as well then.

There also seems to be a lot of folk out there who store their clothes in 'Walldrobes'

This walldrobe has a full leanth mirror AND draws!

You're forgetting people who don't know the difference between "you're and your, those who want alot or abit, get "their" mixed up with "there" or don't know how to use apostrophes or change the spelling when something is plural, ie pony is not ponys or pony's!!!

I tend to go for good, if not technically correct, writing. All words should be spelled correctly, all sentences should be easily read by the buyer, but if there is an obscure grammatical mistake, for example ending the sentence with a preposition.
So, basically, spelling should be perfect, punctuation and grammar ought to be easily legible.
