Spelling and Grammar in classified ads.

I don't care as much about grammar, or spelling that's close, but I do die a little inside when people use the wrong word, like using mute for moot.

Heads up everybody...There's a new rule change to the classifieds that hasn't been posted here yet (for some reason). Apparently you have to have your phone number listed a specific way. I like to type it a certain way so that spam bots can't recognize it as a phone number (example: XX (-X XX) X -X X XX)
But I was told I cannot do this ...fyi

If you do as you did our system will not recognize it as a phone number. Then it is visible to the masses. This puts your ad up in lights to those same masses and bypasses our efforts to keep the classifieds a users/member only sub-forum. Spam bots can not see it as it is blocked from view to non-members and sub 50 post members. So you are safe and we remain non-gunbroker.

Pretty simple really. Not listed in the rules but it will be common knowledge hopefully. No actions taken as to warnings/infractions but I will edit the numbers out if seen and PM the OP to do it properly.

Must be new? I've never posted my number.

Many members did as they knew anyone could see it and that broadened the audience reached.

I do it to convenience anyone who wants to contact me. Pretty simple really. Not everyone spends 18hrs a day on INGO

And you can. Just post it up as it is listed and only members will see it. We went to great lengths.

And yes.....close them when you are done......please.

Actually it's finished. When you cook something it is done. After completing a task it's finished.

Had a High School English that rode me ALL YEAR about that.

That’s a story worth telling.

That's about all I remember about that class.

Another forum I'm on frequently had a guy spelling so badly you couldn't read it. I want the first word he ever spells correctly to be R E T A R D. Nobody answered his question so I rewrote it properly and said "Try it this way. It won't scare people."

I know, some of us are working on 20 - 21 hours a day on INGO

Just remember. Whenever you're losing an arguement on ingo, insult the other sides grammar and spelling. Its the ingo way. Like the libs

To be honest, I generally don't get far enough into reading someone's posts to even argue with them, if it is that bad. The guys who go on a rant with no capitalization, punctuation, or spacing to the post just don't get read. I don't call them out on it (no need), I just glance at the post and move on.
