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

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..

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?

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.

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.

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.
