sale ?

[beerthief]

OK rant time :
why do people now use the word sale instead of sell ? no schooling ?
Do they consider the 3rd grade their graduating class ?
"I want to sale this item "
???????????????????????????
OK rant over .

P.S. IT should read "I want to sell this item."

Maybe they want to add a mast and canvas and take it out on some water ? ( Oh wait I hats sail)..see ... That's sail.

+ This crazy spell check just changes words as you go as it thinks . I near give up on going back over most postings unless it's a total what the he11 is that mess sentence? ...lol.

My apologies. I'm guilty, below third grade at best these days. As age or whatever sets in over time ... not fun and then comes worse pending this or that. Take some time to look into what is and is not taught at school these days. Third grade is stretching expectations. Anyway, best block my posts because its a minefield for your observation and many other reasons. Besides, won't be soon and AI will take care of all conversations.

Or. hey guys, I'm having a sale over here!

They also say that "I have this item for sell". Here in the south, the words sell, sale, and sail are all pronounced the same.

I think keeping it to yourself hurts my feelings more cause I can't reply to something on these non-eventfull days ..

Damn phone sometimes puts words in that are not at all what I was typing and I don't proofread enough.

I have seen the “sale” thing too. I usually click on their avatar and check if they are from a foreign country, often they are and chalk it up to translation.
Here’s another one for a rant, see picture.

Could be a typo, brain fart or lousy english. I've seen a lot of that here, but hey, some of us may not be Einsteins.

This should throw some light on spelling.

Ironic that you'd rant about a common spelling / grammatical error and yet have multiple capitalization and spacing errors in your rant.

In any event, sell vs. sale is nowhere near as annoying as lose vs. loose or loss vs. lost. As in:

"I'm going to loose my mind next time someone says 'my lost, your gain' in one of their for sale ads!"
