What’s the point with the abbreviations? Does MLS charge by the character, or are the people writing these entries just hold overs from the newspaper days?

I think the realtor is targeting the teen OMG texting crowd. But I am not sure why. Perhaps the kid can convince the parents to buy this place.

this has me laughing my ass off. I wish I had a dollar for every random missing vowel, miserably mis-spelled, obfuscated syntax riddled ad I’ve waded through. I could actually afford any house (or “hse”) that I wanted.
Thanks for the blog inspiration too!
