Ha!
That’s pretty funny. But for an editor she or he has plenty of typos on their own posting. Let’s hope they were just carried away in the heat of the moment.

Agreed, but $25 might have been too high an offer, considering the prospective editor can’t spell “plumbing” correctly.

I guess, as someone who gets frustrated with crazy pay myself, I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt. From the way the ad was written, I can tell she just dashed it off in the Craigslist window without bothering to reread it. That’s a big no-no for business communication, but hilarious on an anonymous CL ad. :p
