My response in that thread had to do with the fact that, while the OP is defending the honor of his favorite make of car, he is unable to spell its name correctly. Shouldn't this ardent owner of several Volkswagens realize that the nameplates on the bodies of his cars do not say "Volkswagon"?

The most recent post that made me crazy was in P&OC. Go figure. A purported expert on the over-diagnosis of ADHD referred to Riddlen. Oh, yes, I'm sure to take advice from someone who doesn't know how to spell the trade name of the most common drug used to treat the condition. Sure. Whatever.

In the NJ Forum recently, there was a comment from somebody who claimed to work in the field of addiction therapy, but who demonstrated that she did not know the difference between opiates and opioids. I questioned whether she really worked in that field, but she never returned to provide a response.

"Manda Panda: Malicious injury to property over 2000 dollars. In lamense terms 3 counts of arson. Before any one asks I didn't light the fires I just sat and watched because I was there I was charged....no it wasn't a building or anything relatively important. It was 3 portapotties each one was 30000 dollars."

Hey! Porta Potties are relatively important. (This girl is looking for a job and is wondering who hires felons, just to give some context.)

...and felons with impaired literacy, to boot...



P.S.

I have to admit that it took me a few moments to figure out what "lamense" was supposed to mean.

And...do porta-potties really cost $30k each, or is she impaired in a numerical sense, in addition to her impaired literacy?
I suspect that those plastic structures actually cost $3k or less to produce. Somehow, I doubt that a porta-potty is more expensive than a small to mid-size car.

It seems rather steep, doesn't it? If they're really charging $30,000 for a plastic crapper, I'm in the wrong business!

It took me a minute to get what she was trying to say, too. (Her nickname was something like, Manda Psycho. I wanted to advise her to maybe consider something a little less... felonious sounding while job searching.)
