Fantastic autocratic style,  he held a great session and in the end everyone agreed with him. Love it and thanks for posting.

I have no problem with the death penalty for the folks who use "sell" for "sale" and vice-versa in their Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace posts.

   That's why I don't own guns of any kind.

That at least sounds right when you read it. It's the "Good used truck for sell." and "Make an offer. Must sale quick." ads that drive me nuts.

LOL, but I am sure people that do not know grammar, sure can spell "eBay" "Mecum" or "Barrett-Jackson" very well.....or "good"! I bet most SAAC peeps know those words when overpricing their cars on todays market......

"Well I just saw one on eBay, Mecum, BJ, etc, for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, mine must be worth that." NO, you saw some idiot that has his car in "re-listville" hoping for some other idiot with more money than brains.

.     That's why it's called an "asking price"....You can "ask" anything you want for any item.Doesnt mean someone will pay it.As they say though"there is a seat for every ass",so maybe..Free market capitalism at its best...BTW Caveat Emptor....always..

OK - let me enter my pet grammar peeve - the proper application of "Less" vs. "Fewer".

"Less" is used when referring to a non countable item - e.g. "The restoration was less than adequate"
"Fewer" is used when referring to a countable item - e.g. "There are fewer than ten of these left in the world".

So statements in ads such as "There were less then fifty built" are cringeworthy. But I routinely see this error, including in newspaper and other periodical articles. And please don't ask "What's a newspaper or a periodical?".

And I must give credit to the elementary school nuns who drilled this into me between whackings with a pointer or ruler. For an historical reference on this, view the scene from the Blues Brothers film where Jake and Elwood visit the Penguin:

    Bill,
       The problem may be rooted in Mathematics where the symbols< and> mean Less than and Greater than. Since math is all about numbers , that could cause some confusion.
