Spelling when advertsisng vehicle

[TROOPER88]

Hi
I know the spelling in this advert will amuse a few Pistonheaders:

My favourite is the way they spell mechanic!

The curse of ph has struck again ! Whenever someone criticises anyone's spelling . You know what happens next

I honestly did not think anyone would pick it up!

I was going to spell vehicle with a 'k' but thought it would stand out to much

[BIRMA]

I don't think a spell-checker would cope with it either

The old did it to test you excuse! Classic

[nobodyknows]

Definitely one of the better ones, not just the spelling but the punctuation (or lack of)!

[p4cks]

Can someone please put a percentage of incorrect words on that?

no, you got me there!

Excalant spot. I am guessing you are a macanick.

[tercelgold]

"you are more than well come to bring a macanick when vewing eny inspec wellcome"

= you were welcomed to inspect the car so it's your problem. Legaly speaking.

I would love to see who is selling it.

Milage is the best one. Low milage for year. Full service historory wiv stamps innit.

[gowmonster]

5 minutes left, is anyone going to buy it? if the are, can you give the seller a lesson on English while you are there.

When i was a kid (many moons ago) we learned basic maths and english which has stood me very well over the last 46 years.
Kids these days seem to be leaving shcool witbh 13 GCSE's yet they cannot spell to save their lives!
WTH has happened!
I am not sure what they were doing when I was a kid but they could do a lot worse than bring that back.
We seem to have kids educated to degree level who cannot do basic math and spelling. FCS!

Spell check Alot of the GCSE grade is based on coursework done over the final two years.

I can sort of understand the 'yeah i rite on facebook like dis innit but when i rite profesonal like then i rite proper' but.....no.

Typical PH thread!

He may have learning difficulties but either way we get the grip of what he's saying so what's the problem?

Don't buy a car if the seller can't spell?
Good judgement.
