I think the vast majority of people that post on forums and CL say their items are "For Sell." But I've never actually heard anyone say the phrase "For Sell." When spoken, it's always said "For Sale."
WTF?
WTF?
Keg frig for sell, but it needs fixed.
Boat for sell. Must sail today.
never seen or heard this...
Zuljin said:I hear "for sell" a lot. When I used to listen to a tradio show (I don't know why) people would say that all the time. It seems to be a rural thing.
how about you're (you are) and your (possessive)
or...should I start another thread
I can't say that I've ever noticed this phenomenon.
Loose vs. lose.
just something 'Mercan to remember...Hmmm... let's see:
-People who can't use the proper tense (i.e. I seen that before)
-People who use an apostrophe when pluralizing a word
-Mongeese
-People who use the improper homophone (specific cases already mentioned, but this is the generalization)
-People who use "whom" to sound smart but don't actually know when it is proper to use it
That's all that's coming immediately to mind, but there are a multitude of others that I notice but usually don't remember until I see it again.
P.S. They call me The Grammar Nazi. Not a grammar Nazi, but The Grammar Nazi. Hehe.
I'm going to make a barely wine and name it Mongeese.
P.S. The ability to backspace, tab and left click one's way into any piece of text composed in a digital format negates the need for postscripts in such communications.

My older daughter's first tattoo was [sic] on her inner wrist. She's a Grammar Nazi.
Please forgive the lack of italic. I can't seem to get there with my phone.

Well, Grammar Prime Minister doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, now does it?
You're right. I should have adhered to the convention of prefacing the new information with "Edit:," but I did not and for that I am eternally regretful.
Nice. That genuinely made me laugh. If you want to do italics on your phone you can either use the browser which will give you the full interface or in the app just manually type the tags around whatever it is you're trying to italicize.
