Think he means Cannondale Prophet? You’d thought it’d be easy enough, with it being written on the bike and all that.

It is all kitted out with rockshot too 🙂

I can see by the reflectors on the bike, that its never seen any singletrack action 🙁

😆 maybe he had a mouth full of cotton wool when he typed it 😮

I can’t think why… But if he’d just seen the photos not the real bike (and knew nothing about bikes) then commendable looks about right..

He’d fit in around here then…

You know some people are dyslexic, right? And that, as daft as it seems to you, they have great trouble with the simplest writing tasks.

What other disabilities do you like pointing and laughing at?

Make you feel big, does it?

Just so you know the eBay poster doesn’t suffer from dyslexia – I know, its my specialist field….

My god! Even here!
Go away!

starsh78 – well, there is some kind of learning disability going on there, I guess you could give us a full diagnosis since you are an expert?

DezB – Grow up.

Dyslexia is not a particularly useful diagnosis since it can cover a range of specific reading/writing difficulties. Certainly some of the errors made in the ad are quite commonly made by people with a dyslexia diagnosis.

Reversal of consonants and vowels – porfit/profit
Confusion where words are not spelled “conventionally” – prophet/profit
Unconventional use of capital letters – ALL IN CAPS/no caps for proper nouns
Confusing words spelled similarly – enquires/enquiries.

My god, Prior to 7hz’s post there was no comment to disabilities etc. Chill out, this is a website for adults who spend money on push bikes, hurting themselves and getting filthy in the process.

see, there’s genuine dyslexia and there’s too **** half arsed lazy to be bothered to even attempt to try.

Sorry I guess my button was just being pushed, will now relax, point made.

Old MacDonald was dyslexic…..O-E-O-E-I!!

Is it safe to slag off the carpet, or do i risk offending hard pressed rug manufacturers?

You want to press a slag hard against some carpet? Just keep the noise down eh?

He’s more likely just as thick as pigs**t, or thought it was cooler to not bother going to school….. I work with people like that most days.

Likewise. Supposedly a workplace of degree educated professionals, our Project Manager can’t spell his own name and is thick as clarts.

Blimey, how politically uncorrect, or is it unpolitically correct? Politically incorrect? I dunno, but you need to take a good look at what nasty person you are – they are not thick, just intellectually underdeveloped.
