I know it's the cool thing to do to bash people's horrible grammar, and this
guy DOES have horrible grammar... but you ought to think about it a little
bit before you go through the time to post things on a newsgroup like this.

I know when you're selling on Ebay, you really need to come off as sounding
intelligent or literate at least, so people will have a better sense of
trust and the auction will look more professional, but just because someone
has a grammar problem doesn't mean they're an idiot.

My brother is 25, and reads and writes on a 6th grade level. If he typed up
an auction description, it would likely look worse than the one you've
linked below. He's also one of the most intelligent people i've ever met in
my life, he just never cared much for literacy.

He's smart enough not to ridicule people he's never met, and he's bright
enough to not get humour out of someone's inabilities or shortcomings.

Something to think about, but I'm sure you won't, you likely have no
shortcomings.
