So I'm looking for an apartment in the Bronxville area...

Jun 08, 2011 19:07


 And I found a listing that opens with this:

"Homely room in beguiling four bedroom house."

An unattractive room in a dishonest house? I think I'll pass...

Are you going to let them get away with that sentence fragment?

Same listing:

"Currently occupied by four caring, genial and studious female writers."

They employ poor word usage and passive construction. Perhaps they could make this a two-fer: "Seeking roommate and editor."

Worse things could happen.

I wish those listings actually existed. I'd have a better sense of where I could fit in, haha.

Also, I apologize if I'm coming off as too superior in this post/comments.

Best description ever. I would do a walk through of the listing just to nose around. What does a beguiling house look like?

Something entirely different than it is; that's for sure.

Why do I feel like you've already written a short story about this house?

Are you referring to "The Will" or to something that could happen in the (very near) future? haha
