The English Language
Wednesday, May 24, 2006
I've been trying, rather unsuccessfully, to sell my vehicles for the past month or so. I put an ad up on Cragislist and have been getting a few nibbles, but haven't sold anything yet. However, I got this priceless response to my car ad, wherein I describe my vehicle as a "sporty sedan":
Aside from the actual content of the message (which gets a big "whatever" in my book), the fact that someone read my ad and chose to respond in this way almost made my day. It's hilarious. Obviously this person is old enough to drive (16+ years of age) but must have been left behind in terms of education.
Thank you, sir, for making my day.
Helll na my that cars slowww my gsr civic hb eats em up all dayThat was the entire text of the message. Right there. I count eight actual words that are in the English language, out of a total fifteen (not counting his name.) I'm not counting "civic", as it should be capitalized because it's the name of the vehicle. That's a 53.3% success rate on written English, which is not, in my opinion, very good. Then there's the grammar question, where we realize that nothing actually makes sense. "my that cars"? Huh? I don't understand what you're saying, sir.
