AD: Ebay and Justbeads auctions
 

Hi All

I have some auctions running at ebay this week - polymer, ceramic and
lampwork. Plus an auction at Justbeads, but I warn you - I was in a
silly mood when I wrote that listing !

Please visit my site www.ejrbeads.co.uk and click on the ebay or
justbeads links there to see the auctions

Many thanks
Emma

Aren't you concerned that your "Broken Heart" auction on Just Beads will
turn of bidders?

It's "losing", not "loosing", Emma dear. (In your Justbeads auction text.)

See (to be really annoying....)
"losing" is when you lose something. Lose a contest, or your purse, or
whatever. Pronounced "Luz".

"Loosing" is when you turn something loose on something else, or if something
becomes loose (like your jeans are now loose on your ass -- what a great
feeling!). If you loose your talent upon the unsuspecting world, for instance.
Pronounced "Lusss".

See?

yup I saw the typo myself earlier.

I am quite a good speller actually, so do know that it was wrong.

But thanks anyway

An easy way to remember is is when you lose, you lost the extra "O."

I don't know about Sooz, but that particular grammar error is one of
my real hot buttons. Another one is the difference between "less"
and "fewer." I want to jump up and down and scream when I see the
"10 items of less" lines at the supermarket. If you don't know how
much, the answer is fewer.

Annoyingly,

Nope - not really.

I think most people can tell it is very tongue in cheek.

Can't spend your whole life worrying how other's will perceive you
anyway. Just gotta get on do your thing, true to your own self, and
hope that someone, somewhere gets your vibe I guess.

Ah - now that one I didn't know. Less - fewer.

So am I understanding right that you can say "I have 3 beads less than
you" but if you dont know how many beads it would be "I have fewer
beads than you" but never "I have 3 beads fewer than you? or "I have
less beads than you?"

I never knew that one, but it does sort of make sense. Sometimes the
things that are wrong just sound wrong. One that bugs me here,
especially in the South East of England where I live is people mixing
up the words "Brought" and "Bought" - it is amazing how many times I
hear that around here.

Thanks for the grammar lesson! Although I am a Brit so our
pronounciations would be a teeny but different anyway if we are gonna
get *really* annoying!

I did just try to get into justbeads again to see how I could edit the
typo. But I don't think that I can unfortunately as I was using my own
template and cannot see a way to edit or replace that now that the
auction is running and has bids.

I think I am gonna just have to let it run its course with the
annoying typo and live with it.

Um, Emma, unless you have an alter ego that lives in Germany, there's
something wrong with your listings.

The first thing to show up in your eBay link is:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW

T-Shirt Strickjacke Cape seller ID:rosenkind17

There's two other German listings.

However, when I click on ejralph, it does take me to your correct feedback,
and then the button there that takes me to 'Seller's Other Listings' does
take me to your eBay beads.

Beyond bizarre. Unless you really do have 23 Rock CDs for sale. I never
thought you were an Arrowsmith kind of girl.
