Well, this is a new one. CL misspelling.

 = A reading comprehension fail for me.

I'm surfing CL for a used vanity for the guest bedroom (LOL) and I see this:

ANTIQUE STILE CHAIR - $30

I'm all ... WTH is a stile chair?  I know there are rails and stiles in certain types of cabinetry ....

So I read on.  And get the following photo:



Ok ... I don't see anything specifically different that would make it a "stile" chair.  But then I read this:


ANTIQUE STILE CHAIR, NOT AN ANTIQUE! slightly used, good condition


Antique, but not antique?  ohhhhhhh.  They meant stYle, not stile.  Derp.  And now I feel silly - but it's a nice chair for $30.  Anyone want a re-upholstery project?

Oh my.

I can't be too surprised. My aunt misspells her favorite sports team every time. You wear their name on your jersey!!!! Look down!!

oh my goodness that really is too much!

I just had a CL misspell/comprehension fail moment of my own.

I spent a minute or so trying to figure one listing, when it finally occurred to me that a 'calking mattress' was a cal king mattress.;p
