From an e-bay message:



"It’s been a minute. There’s lots of awesomeness waiting for you, Davey—like deals, unique finds, and so much more. See what’s new in your faves".



Yikes, my English teacher would roll over in his grave. At least they didn't qualify 'unique', although that was probably a mistake.

I assume there someone out there who makes a living by writing this stuff? It's a depressing idea.

Not any more, I would have thought.

To quote Winston Churchill:

"That is the type of English, up with which I will not put"

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from where we don't end a sentence with a preposition!"

"Ok, where are you from, bitch?"

An estate agent described a road to me as 'most premier'. :)
