  • When you wrote "Howe," I thought you were talking about Gordie Howe.

    Understanding what the seller means is one thing, but trusting him to come through with what he's advertising is another. If I see an ad with blatant spelling mistakes, I wonder how careful the seller is with grading, packaging, accounting, etc. If it's not someome I'm familiar with, I shy away from the auction.

  • Bad spelling and/or typos is one thing, but something you also see a lot of is the use of a wrong word to express a thought. For instance, there is a current thread where the author uses the word "except" when they should have used "accept". Is it bad spelling or something worse when someone uses "payed" for "paid" ?

    I'm guilty of bad spelin and knot knowin the rite way to youse words, but eye trie to keep it to a minnimum. image

    I like sellers who can't spell. They have brought me a number of bargains, on players as important as Lloyd Warner and Phil Neikro. image
