Is "SALE" a verb?

[Scarpozzi]

<rant>Cause last time I checked it was a freakin' NOUN!!!! These idiots on our listserve for a UNIVERSITY are continuously trying to pedal their crap on there for whatever change they can. Sixty percent of them write things like: "Computer for Sale- Great system. I'm will sale it for $400"

WTF?? Are you STUPID? Learn the ENGLISH language before you bother to send a message out to 3000 people. It's bad because it's no just one person doing this....it's MANY. I could send a rant to the listserve, but our dept is IT, so I'm not supposed to get involved....afterall, I would hate to be the one bringing up petty corrections to faculty that don't know anything about the English Language. (P.S.--most of these people are stupid white folk....just to clear up any questions of race or origin of the idiots)

You should "thief" the system.

A verb implies an action. Sell would be a verb, IIRC.

 

[JohnAn2112]

Sell would be the correct word.

Thus the rant....and if you notice, I never ended my rant... I've seen this crap for 4 years now.

Yeah, I see it all the time too. Just go to craigslist. The classified section is full of that stuff.

A common spelling mistake such as that can hardly be compared to his example.

EDIT: Ah...the one word I screwed up...

I hope that was intentional.

Zing . . . I guess that's the way these threads always go. Turns out no one is perfect after all.

I think I need a new sarcasm meter. Is this for real?

By definition, sale can never be a verb. /thread

I'm quite certain we covered that already.

It's bad because it's no just one person doing this

last time i checked it should be not instead of no.
i love people who cry about grammar and spelling but can't even do it properly but can't even do it in their own posts.

You're missing quite a bit of stuff in that post.

Definitely broken man. I was trying to fit as many of my pet peeves as possible into one short post. I meant to put 5 in there, hopefully, there aren't any more than that.
