<div style="font-style:italic;">There was a thread on here not long ago.. darn it.. now I have to find it! Someone bought a pair that was advertised as wool and it turns out they were really acrylic. The English skills are a problem if she is not advertising the product properly; it can hurt her business.</div>

I saw the FB which says essentially that. But I would assume the best, and that she made an honest mistake. She fixed it right? I guess the fact that English is the 2nd and 3rd language of my entire extended family on my SO's side, it bothers me people assume that it is her language skills. People make mistakes. Native English speakers do it <b>all the time.</b> She may have simply reposted an auction, and missed that word. Could be a non-lanuage related accisdent.<br><br>
She made a mistake, she fixed it, what does that have to do with her language skills? As long as the communication was made, I just think it is a moot point.<br><br>
We have all made mistakes, and she made one too...weird to me that is the assumption that is all.<br><br><br>
ETA: After reading the PP post <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/winky.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Wink"> , I think if she is constantly doing it she should know what she is selling (she lists the kind of wool in some and not others) and be forthright. But other buyers seem happy so they cannot all be acrylic can they? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/shrug.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="shrug"><br><br>
If she just stated the yarn content every time, she would be good.
