People aren't taking the **** out of someones spelling, they are taking the **** out of the stupidity on the advert.

It's a car for sale and there's clearly no effort been made at all. It's puzzling why you would part with such a large amount of money for a car advertised like this. There's no excuse for it, if he had something such as dyslexia then he should have got it checked by a spell checker or a friend, if not then it's just laziness.

And his "laziness" is a problem for you how?

As for it being puzzling that i would part with money for that car, i wouldnt, but i can tell you i dont give a toss how adverts are worded as long as i can understand them, i tend to buy cars for how they are, not how the advert was worded. If that means a few wasted trips looking at rubbish, well thats all part of buying cars.

Quite frankly if you can't judge the importance of a well worded advert, you are as stupid as the person that posted that advert. You're telling me that you'd have no qualms buying a car from a person who couldn't even be bothered to spell the name of the car properly?

I dont think his retardations are a "problem" for anyone here - but they are a good source of amusement. If I was looking at buying such a car, it would be a cause for concern certainly.

No im telling you that you that i cant see whats so amusing about someone who cant spell.

Don't you find someone who types like a LOLCAT slightly amusing?

Not being able to spell does not equal being retarded, some people might find your use of that word quite obnoxious.

Anyway while your on being the internet hard man, why dont you give the fella a ring, tell him you think he's a ****, and go spend a day meeting him to chat about it?

No not really, but thats just me.

Not being able to spell the name of the car, even though IT'S PLASTERED ALL OVER THE CAR stinks of laziness and/or stupidity.

I bet you're a right laugh down the pub.

Not having the common sense to check for mistakes in an advert like that is extremely stupid, nothing to do with spelling ability.

Why would I want to spend any time with someone that thick? Can't imagine we'd have much to talk about.

Yea we have a laugh, but not generally at other peoples expense. What i find amusing are people on internet forums who are very gobby and turn out to be not so in the flesh. Thats what i find funny.

OcUK is becoming populated with boring pendants with a penchant for totally ruining threads.

Irony right there...you realise you are being gobby too.

I also know a few of the people properly (as in met quite a few times) that you are referring to as 'gobby on the internet but not in the flesh' and I'll have you know they post exactly as they are in real life.
