Except it's futile, no one gives a fuck about it or if you're technically correct, no one ever will care particularly, it just doesn't matter in the end, people will continue to do things like that far after you're dead. Why make a fuss about something that is so insignificant? All it really does is get yourself worked up o_O

Used but new is not only incorrect, it's confusing. If the poster doesn't know how to properly list or describe an item, I'm sure as hell not going to want to buy from an inbred retard like that. Hell, that's the same type of person who would list a car as being in great shape only missing the engine.

Boom, sale lost.

If you find the phrase "new but used" confusing, then it is you who is the retard.

No sale will have been lost because you'd probably try to pay in potatoes or matches.

lol like he or anyone else cares about one person's issue with grammar. the majority understand what is being said and appreciate short, concise descriptions rather than wasteful paragraphs.

I simply don't trade with savages like that. They will not see a penny of my money.

Wow, just imagine the untold millions of dollars you'd spend with them otherwise, I'm sure the "savages" really regret it now, if only they'd learn proper English.

Too bad many of these "savages" are simply products of a failing education system and socioeconomic disadvantages. Just because you consider yourself better than others because of your intelligence and or learnings doesn't make you any better of a human being

Get off your high horse

I actually investigate a product before I purchase it, if I judge it to be in acceptable condition, the guy selling it could be married to his sister for all I care at that point, you can go ahead and pass up good deals based on grammar, I don't care in the slightest, more good deals for me.

I ride a very high horse, it's like 50 feet tall at least! If i get off, I might fall down and get hurt.

I imagine you would call this "I would be OK but Injured" or perhaps "I would be excellent but terrible"

I simply wish people would not intentionally be "smart but stupid."
