So I'm just reading this thread for giggles, take it as a free bump I guess, but my OCD is refusing to let this go, not out of grammar nazism, but due to the comedy gold.
Why do you want to know about the goats sex "health" ??
Are you looking to abuse my goat?? Are you a goat abuser??
If you look closely, there is a comma between sex, and general health of the goat. Meaning I am wondering the goats gender and it's general healthI know there are many non English speaking individuals on this fourm, TMAN maybe you should read up on how commas work
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/commas.htmI am by no means an English major, but I will do my best to answer any questions you have relating to commas and their usage
Here is your quote that is referenced to
Well you own the goat so I thought you possibly had a farm or something.
Who do you want to use as escrow? Would wheels work? I live close by them, we wouldn't have to pay any shipping.
While I guess it really depends on the type of goat, its age, its sex and general health
Like I would be more willing to trade for a poor health verata as opposed to a a healthy sable.
What kind of goat(s) do you have and are willing to trade?
The bolded section there is read as "its sex and general health" meaning its sex health and general health, there is no comma. So TMan's concern is valid!
All of that said, this is one weird thread. Besides the strange format auction and (joke?) animal bartering, you also seem to be at the least showing intent to purchase deer jerky and Zimbabwe dollars. I would say I'm a tad bit confused, but amused is probably a better way to spell that.
