I fail to see the relevance. George W. Bush has an MBA, but it in no way

On the other hand, someone with any intelligence (or integrity) would
not make deliberately misleading postings to advertise a business he
was starting.

If your company was legitimate, and if you had any sense, you would
have made a short posting about it. Sure, a few people might have
taken exception to advertising, but we'd probably have forgiven you.

Instead, you posted in a way designed to make your outfit look
mendacious, insubstantial and just plain dodgy.

And though this may be a petty point, leaving out punctuation and
capital letters really doesn't inspire confidence. Makes you look like a
chav sending texts.

Funny, that.

From my days at University, one of the requirements of being given a
degree certificate was that you had at least a basic understanding of
the English language.

You appear to be an illiterate, lying, fuckwit.

Not a very professional way to do business, is it?

I'd never deal with a business which has such a teenage chav attitude to
spelling and grammar.

I suspect most other posters here have the same opinion.

I recently had a rant on our local FreeCycle explaining that I'd not
consider any of the Wanted posts if they didn't have capital letters and
punctuation - nor would I dispose of any of my Offered items to anyone
who couldn't be arsed to use English.

Got a swarm of emails from like minded FreeCyclers.

Heh.

Saw something like that on my local one, too.

I'm losing patience with FreeCycle these days, though - last week I
offered some half decent stuff in a garage clearout (like 2 nearly new
hover mowers and a working computer) - despite having emails promising
collection, no-one turned up.

Mind you, I stay subscribed just to laugh at the crazy 'wanted' posts -
usually from illiterates. (Wanted: ne psp stuff, working lappy, etc...
although the best ones are 'Wanted: Ford Escort. must be less than 10
years old with tax and mot, I'm housebound so you would have to
deliver')

Neither can you use capital letters correctly.

The thing is, people who you are trying to convince ARE swayed by poor
grammar and spelling. Smacks of outright lazy bone idleness and

"infact" is not a word in the English language.

Using several psuedonyms in a vain attempt to fool people just smacks
of desperation. Is your product so crap that you have to resort to such
things?

Sadly, yes. Shame that the dumbass is too stupid to realise that such
posts, the contents of the posts and the flaming of those you're trying
to convince is hardly likely to gain you any interest.

Probably not. It was untrendy for quite a while in the 80's/90's then
the teachers who had grown up not being taught it have to (try to) teach

It is dire. And I certainly wouoldn't buy anything form somebody with
such a bad command of English, and such a lack of respect for potential
customers.

Of course, in this case even if the English was perfect there are many
many other reasons to stay at the other end of a non-contact narrowboat

Me? Grammar rant?

Must be somebody else, guvnor.

I guess you mean the "80's and 90's". Debatable.


From askoxford.com:

"An apostrophe is used:
when letters or numbers are referred to in plural form:
mind your p's and q's; find all the number 7's"

I would contend that I was referring to the plurality of 1981, 1982,
1983 etc. and therefore "80's" is correct. You may be thinking of the
singular "decade known as the 80s" in which case you would be correct in
the larger sense, but wrong in this instance.

But thanks for playing ;-)

Ask Oxford are, IMHO, wrong.

I'd never use an apostrophe in this context.
