[ZorsT]

"The Bike is very tidy for its age, it has avon tyres, back many need replacing soon frount is mint, brad new mufflers and heaps of many parts i have replaced over the 3 years i have owned it"

Just found it on TradeMe.

I know my spelling isn't good, but thats just bad

Hummmmm, No Sir. I don't like it.

Heaps of many mistakes he made, yes he did.

Seen worse. Divine Pizza in Khandallah sells "pizza's". Groan...

[Groins_NZ]

It reads sweet after about 5-8 attempts.

Just out of interest - what was the bike?

And so they should.

Imagine if you, Gentle Reader, were to happen upon a terminating sibilant *without* the grace of a warning apostrophe! Catastrophy would inevitably ensue.

I applaud their brave and innovative syntactical approach, and I remind all present that without such mettle, Man would never have harnessed the fearsome energies released in the splitting of the infinitive.

Hmmmm... Shouldn't that be "fearsome energie's"?

[ZorsT]

what was the bike?

I lack mettle.

A shape-shifting bike? Impressive!

Or possibly catastrophe...

Ooooh, you rotten pedantrist. Caught me fair and square.

When your dishing it out, your'e own grammer and speling needs to be impeckaba... impeca... impeccca...
Unless, of course, you can blame it on the couple of home brews and the bottle of sauvignon blanc that went down a treat with dinner...

I wish my brain was equiped with spell check, but alas its not. :o

I know. I'm happy to sacrifice myself in the cause of providing a worthy target, though...

In all honesty, I cannot claim such; I've only just now started on my semillon/sauvignon blanc for the evening. My failings are entirely my own.

Also, I must confess that the kitchen defeated me earlier; I had Hell delivered, and I looked upon it and saw that it was Good. Tasted all right, too.

[avgas]

Engage pen before brain i say. Leave english to those who dont know math

[MikeL]

I had Hell delivered, and I looked upon it and saw that it was Good.

You're a trusting soul. Do you really believe that even Hell can deliver the goods? Might look good, and taste good, but what's really in it????

Your own kitchen is best. Just takes a bit of time and effort...

And dare I mention campylobacter, listeria?

And now, in the true spirit of perversity, I'm off to the pub, to light up my pipe or a good cigar before we all turn into pumpkins at midnight...

[StoneChucker]

Just to let you all know, I HAVE gone crazy. At 5pm, on Wednesday, when I realised YET again I was staying late at work, with everything else, something seriously snapped inside me. I must have blacked out, as when I came to, I was hunched over in a corner, with a sterile drape (for surgery) over me like a tent, frothing at the mouth whistling christmas carrols.

Where was I? Oh yes, jrandom... Hell? I would rather eat all the raw ingredients for an omlette, make myself throw up into a hotplate, cook the upchuck into an omlette, and then eat it again (yes, I saw this on Jackass, was quite, err, disturbing).

Maybe it was meant to be 'pizza is (good)'? naa, I don't think so Tim. :Oi:

[scumdog]

Took the words right out of my mouth, 'course you forgot to spell some of 'em correctly though :bleh: :Pokey:

And dare I question the spelling of Socrates with a k........................??? :)

[vifferman]

"The Bike is very tidy for its age, it has avon tyres, back many need replacing soon frount is mint, brad new mufflers and heaps of many parts i have replaced over the 3 years i have owned it" Not the worst I've read on TradeMe.
The thing that continually gets me is the ones where the name of the bike is spelled incorrectly (or incorrectely spelted) in the title. :crazy:

[MikeL]

And dare I question the spelling of Socrates with a k........................??? :)

Ah, I was hoping someone would ask that.
(Gets ready to delve into fascinating history of complex relationship between Greek alphabet and Latin transcription, until realizes nobody really gives a stuff...)

Just put it down to intellectual snobbery.

Just put it down to intellectual snobbery.That's just intellectual snobbery.
Surely, if you're going to use a "k", because it's more correct, then you may as well write everything that's furrin with the original spelling and script of the time? Or summat?



(I actually have no freakin' idea what I'm talking about; I'm just horrendously bored....)
