"hi, I'm interested in the car, would it be possible to come view it this weekend, I can do Sat afternoon or anytime Sunday"

the reply

"yer"

Would love to have seen what it looked like when he paid threefiddy for it.

The real crime here is that Gumtree and eBay lump quads and bikes together in the first place. Mad

Actually the real crime is that obviously stolen quad.

Looking at how some people communicate online and via sms, it would appear agraphia is now the trendy 'must have' for this decade. Its surprising how many people change the way they write when you point out that to most people, they are portraying themselves as being thick and uneducated.

No, some are just lazy, or trying to be 'trendy'. My girlfriend was a prime example, I wouldn't reply to anything which was made up of abbreviations and misspelt words, and so she started writing correctly. By her own admission, she said the way she used to write was 'easier and quicker'.

On the third reading of this thread I've only just realised Qwod wasn't the brand of the bike.

I disagree to an extent. From my experience, a lot of people defend themselves by claiming immunity given the fact they're posting on the internet and "doesn't matter".

That said, I'd love to see some of their emails sent at work then Laughing

Spelling and grammar has definitely gone down the pan, my nephew and niece are both shocking at spelling when you see the stuff they write on fb. My mates lads are the same too.

Back in the early days of the internet, before the WWW, all command line emails were written in lower-case. Nobody ever used capitals until the introduction of email clients and the widespread use of the net. Anything I read that is entirely in lower-case, but perfectly worded and punctuated, I know is from an old-school PC user.

My girlfriend has just submitted her CV for a job with a large supermarket chain, and received a reply today:

It's just sloppiness and apathy. As someone as mentioned the old "It's just the internet, no one cares" argument springs to mind on a number of occasions, seeing as the internet will only get bigger and become a far more integrated part of our lives, hopefully it wont become 'just the internet' and lean more towards how you would write a letter to a friend.

The only time I can honestly find it acceptable is when you're speaking to someone else who likes to write that way (they can pretend it's their language), but otherwise when writing an advertisement, having it poorly written as shown for the "Qwod bike" will only attract undesirables - I'd imagine.

So it's a "must try harder, can do better" on your school report card then.

Reading the location, Bootle, Liverpool, should be the first clue.

Having said that other locations qualify, Moss Side Manchester being the first in my head.

Is it so the police might miss it if they bother to trawl for eBay/Gumtree sales of stolen goods?

When selecting from the drop-down menu under "Transmission Type" I can only imagine he had to guess at "Automatic" as it bears no resemblance to his version of the word.

Kill 'em all.
