You don't have to go to ebay in order to find this kind of stuff, these boards are becoming full of it too. I just read some threads in the main section that are really bad, written by newbies who are picking up cheap, older S2000's. (A sign of the times?) But i noticed they don't get picked up on it as much as a couple of years back. What's changed? 
In my view - If the person can't take the time to make themselves be properly understood, they are showing a complete lack of respect for everyone else who has to read it.

I can't be bothered pointing it out any more. Any such comment, however politely expressed, is often met with a hostile response. I just give up and not let them benefit from my vast resources of wisdom

When people helpfully suggest the the newbie take the time to write clearly, there normally follows a barrage of posts uttering "beware the grammar police...."

Furthermore, if the grammar and syntax are moronic, the concept behind the words tends to be also.

Dear gem1234.123,
Ah sorry, it's just that you've used all 3 colours in the description of the car, so I wondered if it had a bit of each colour. I like my cars to be multicoloured you see.
When you say maron, do you mean maroon?
Also, does the car have 6 engines?
Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I don't know much about cars.
Thanks.
