Don'cha just love ad-speak?
Here is a little ditty I pulled off of craigslist.org. The guy must be a marketing major and genius (offense intended) who wrote this. The boat is FREE if you BUY the trailEr. What a concept! The trailer must be in great shape but I am not sure about the boat.
Yes, this thread is about grammar and spelling but you get extra points for violating both!
Here is the add:
"19 ft boat free when you buy trailor - $800 (soandso beach)

the boat is a 19ft maxum with a 125 force that still runs well . if you would like the motor too i would like a extra 100$. the boat is a 1987. the trailor is a 1995 roller witha power wench and i do have a hand crank for it to that you van have i dont use the boat any more i jusy want to get rid of it so if your intrested give me a call or email me. 908-3XX-XXXX"
At least he got the phone number right but I am still not sure what a '125 force' is except from the sentence usage.
