Default Engish as she's wrote

Here's a new take on the rules of English composition. Seems full stops and spaces are not on this seller's agenda. LOL ... https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-ca.../posting/95039

My guess it has been typed on a small screen like a phone with auto correct jumping on some
of the text, capitals denotes enter/new line and then the person has back spaced to close up
the spaces and make lines of information.

Some of those sites make it hard to edit ads once submitted but damn, that bloody terrible.

Don,t have to go to American sites to find that type of punctuation. At least the spelling seemed pretty good,which is something that is lacking with a few of our local forum posters.

Sorry Pedro, but I find it quite ironic you saying something about the English language when you have spelt English wrong in your heading.

Spot on mate. That’s likely all it is. No big deal

For the records of all who love to jump onto the forum spelling bee I have a close family member and another who is a good friend who have dyslexia. I have no doubt the spelling hero’s would get their rocks right off criticising their spelling. They are both of above average IQ, actually one is well above average. They were often labeled as lazy at school because they didn’t get what others found easy to learn, or labeled as drop kicks or druggies because they didn’t “fit in” to expectations. After seeing the efforts they put into “fitting into “ the school system as well as how they try to fulfil societies spelling and grammar expectations I have nothing but respect for them. Perhaps people should also try and “ fit into” their world and see it from the other side. Never judge a book by its cover boys.
