Dear Kijiji Users,
I am a frequent browser of your ads. In particular, I tend to keep my eye on the Livestock, Furniture and Vehicle pages, however I also like to scan the Wanted section, the Swaps and the Free Stuff.
It has come to my attention that in order to be a Kijiji user, one must be incapable of spelling. I find myself in a bit of a quandary (not laundry), because I cannot adhere to this rule. I have been referred to as the Spelling Nazi, and I am, I will admit, beyond intolerant of the fact that in Nova Scotia, Engrish seems to be the language of choice.
Yesterday I came across a want ad for a "mixbread dog". I can only assume, dear Kijiji user, that you are looking for a dog capable of kneading dough. Good luck with that.
It is unfortunate that several people seem obsessed with finding a "roaster" to keep their chickens company. Chickens don't like roasters, dear Kijiji users, they don't like them at all. I am certain that they'd much rather remain lonely.
And why are so many people trying to sell a "coach"? I don't care how old your coach is, how clean he happens to be, whether or not he comes with a cover or from a pet-free home, how little he sags, or that the kids were too rough on him. Your coach is not someone you should be selling (or even giving away for free) no matter HOW worn out he is.
I sincerely hope that Kijiji users are, by and large, a special breed, and NOT representative of the general population. If people really do spell, write and attempt to communicate as poorly as Kijiji would have me believe, it's no wonder we can't get a handle on the bigger problems in the world like global worming, hungary children and suicide balmers.
Yup, we're screwed. Carry on as if normal, Kijiji users, carry on.
