It's not just Facebook. For a real laugh, check out the car ads on Craigslist.

We have been searching Craigslist for a while for a used car. Holy shit, some of the ads aren't even readable. People can't even take the time to use something that at least resembles the English language when they're describing their car. Sometimes you don't even get a year, model, or mileage. Half the ads are written in text language.

The best ones I've seen lately were the ads for the Protiaj and the Legace.

Saw one a couple weeks ago where the entirety of the post was something like "nice little car" followed by a phone number.

I've seen a bunch of those, too. I'm just amazed, though, at the number of people that can't even get close to spelling the name of the car that's sitting in their driveway.

At least Twitter arrived in time to save the English langauge.

"Shorthand" has a time and place, like Twitter or text messages. It's sad that people no longer recognize that. I might start reporting these ads as spam on Craigslist, this has to stop.

My favorite is when people are selling shoes. No size. What's the first thing that you should probably share when selling a pair of shoes?

I was looking for some wheels for my Subaru and saw something similar in people that post an ad for "Wheels" and then don't tell you the size or what they fit.
