Would you buy a shotgun from someone who spells gauge guage?

[steelgray]

I keep seeing EE posts where people are listing their shotgun as such and such a "guage". I am always wary of this - as I think that if someone doesn't know how to spell gauge, they may be some kind of gun scammers. Is that just me?

Spell check does a lot of this

Not if it was a .410

Not as painful as seeing "minty" in adds.

How about a shotgun where they don't tell you gauge, chokes, or any real info about condition. Some people obviously don't have a clue.

Prolly just Kamlooky

Prolly is just as bad as guage, neither is a real word. lol

OH .OH.. The spell police

How about when they say "surplus to my needs?" I think that's equally suspicious. If it wasn't surplus to your needs, then you still NEED it. And if you need something you won't be selling it.

Deep thoughts about the EE

Would not even consider buying a firearm with a discrimination useing the word minty , or remmy. Or winny .

Maybe they're just dyslexic.

 

[struff55]

Yes it is just you . Spell check makes many changes one must prove read everything even you correct the spelling it still may return to the spell check version

Would you buy a shotgun from someone who spells it shogun, lol?

YES! Makez me up-chuck a little. Shake my head at ad & would not buy lol

or No Pic is kinda disappointing in this day & age as well. I usually skip over those ads if Im in a 'buying' mood.

Mosburg vs Mossberg
Ithica (Ithika) vs Ithaca
Sig Soeur (Suer) vs SIG Sauer
...Reggmigton, Ticca, Steyor...
and the best of all: Pacmyr-aier-ire-ar as variants for Pachmayr

Or 870 wingy thingy

I'd sooner buy from a guy that can't spell gauge than one who refers to the item as a shotty.
