I see lots of mercedez, deisel, and deisil cars for sale on CL.

I also saw a car that was equipped with a turvo the other day...

This isn't gramar or spelling, but my favorite of late was the $2000 car that, "is actually in pretty good shape except where the tree fell on it."

actually, this list could get very long very fast.

I see a lot of this when I read a material list from a customer. Instead of fart fan, I get "far fan" or instead of "two gang" I get "two dames"

"Generatore" may be Italian for "generator". Perhaps he meant to post that ad on Rome's Craiglist.

Just a small bathroom fan to wisp away all the smells that you can throw at it.
