Your statement says it all. Practice what you preach! Humour at the expenses of an innocent is far from humour!

Multy instead of Multi

"a cute multy lighted aquarium with a with two goldfish giving a beautiful intertendment in the house.it comes with all directories. "

Here's a possible translation to American English

A cute multi-lighted aquarium, with two goldfish, resulting in beautiful entertainment for your home. It comes with all directions.

Just remember that English is not everyone's primary language, at least he tried.
I bet he did better than I would trying to describe it in his native tongue!

 

[screamingdonkey]

Ok, ok - shoot me for my sins.

I wasn't actually trying to rib the guy for his English, as such. I was just saying that the advert made me laugh.

I whole-heartedly apologise for any offence caused.

 

[Naughtygirlrlw]

No problem, I wasn't offended at all. It's just the Mom in me coming out, you know the lecture, we've all had the lecture...
"Don't you dare make fun fun of that kid in a wheelchair, I could be backing out of the driveway and run over you then you'd be the one in the wheelchair!" You know, those kind of lectures

Hi. Not meaning to be rude, but since the original ad said "Welcome to 'UK Only' Aquarist Classifieds ..." I assumed the seller was from the UK. I think they still speak English in the UK? Just joking with you!

~Swoop~
Over my head, I totally missed that!

 

[newtotropical]

Lighten up peeps.... i thought it was asmusing!!

 

[PlecMama]

Oh trust me, you don't have to be foreign to speak'n'spell that badly, you should see some of the posts on my local Freecycle group - what are they even talking about?? lol

And if one more person says "pacifically" instead of specifically, in my presence.........grrrrrrrrrrrr

directories are instructions and or accessories, and there is no need to add contact details, as you reply via the internal messaging system of the site!.

so add is entertaining tank with all accessories and instructions! it looks funny if you language is english. but took no time to work out!

it may be interesting to see an add, in the advertisers language, made by the thread starter. perhaps things may not look so funny to them then!
