Classified Malaprops
Jul. 3rd, 2006 11:23 amIt is a notable fact that the bar for literacy among Craigslist posters is not especially high. Anyone with a sensitivity to spelling and grammar infelicities will wince quite a bit. In addition to "rod iron" (for wrought iron) and "in tact" (for intact) as reported at Making Light, I am today enlightened with this new gem: "KING SIZE SLAY BED". Clearly Procrustes was going for half measures.
