Pedants against on line grammar mistakes.

Oh blimmin' 'eck! Just seen a mistake where there really shouldn't have been one. Poor proof-reading/editing is the suspect. The writer was referring to a problem "inflicting college students". Big OOPS!

The instructions for my knitting machine (which I freecycled long ago) were very badly translated from Japanese. I rather enjoyed working out what they really meant.

Twitter translations can be funny too.

.

It is probably almost unique too.

Uncompromising! where do they get these words from, still it gives us all a laugh.

I like the 'almost unlimited'

Haha!

Someone else is selling the identical thing (judging by the photo) which is 2.7 metres long, so someone must have a faulty tape-measure. That description starts "This is an uncompromising solution for everyone" whatever they mean by that.

And yet another that looks identical has 8 elements that make up 2.3 metres - but that is for boarders not borders, so presumably it is for keeping in your human B&B guests and is completely different - maybe electrified?

Sorry to confuse! This was the full Amazon advert. (I was looking at buying this sort of stuff.) Copying it has lost the original formatting.
