Lovely Day...

That sucks...I'm pretty sure this Joe guy will give me my first negative. I looked through your guy's feedback left for others and he left this gem (Neutral) for someone who sells DVDs.

"thaer are plink pagies"

Here's another

"a pice camof"

This one was actually a positive

"it whas a good precis"

Here's your chance to give him his first negative -

When you win the track leave him a negative that says "The train was missing."

I don't understand how these people can figure out how to buy and sell things on eBay, but they have no command of the English language.

It's the end result of the whole "don't fail a kid for spelling as it will hurt their self esteem" thing. So a big section of a whole generation feels really great about being stupid.

Sadly many places that get revenue from selling stuff or from other people selling stuff like Ebay eventually have to make it simple enough for the lowest common denominator of our society. Face it, there's a whole lot of stupid people out there, they're as big a market as some entire countries. If only 1/4 of the US population is stupid, that's about as big a market as all of Germany.

I think you might be underestimating how stupid our population really is!!

There's probably a way to blame the whole problem on the Obama Administration.

It's not that hard - relatively speaking, the US population was much smarter under Bush.
