I just deleted an old ad from craigslist, this is the response message -

"This posting been deleted from craigslist"

Perhaps dropping words would improve ad performance.

    WELL, TODAY a foreigner "corrected" me on English grammar!

    I changed a statement to

    IDENTIFIERS DON'T

    HE said I should say:

    IDENTIFIERS DOESN'T

    OH WELL...

    To be honest, it IS possible a word was merely dropped in editing, etc... The keyboard I am typing on may double or drop characters, and I AM more likely to transpose ccharacters on it. (NOTE, I WAS going to correct the "cc", but it is a good and valid example of the problem I spoke about).
