Just down the street (at 1184 Marguerite, Manteca, Ca) is a house for sale. The sign in the front yard claims a URL of lm4sell.com.

What would possess an agent to post a sign with a nonexistent URL?

Clearly there is an issue with confusing L's and i's...

You typed the first letter as an L, but when put an i in there, I get a real estate agent's web site for Stockton, CA.

It's the dang font on the sign, I read it as being all lowercase, as most URL's are.

The sign reads, lm4sell.com The upper I's and lower l's are the same.

He should have it as Im4sell.com or im4sell.com

It might have been easier to guess at if the grammar was correct.

Either is correct. "To be" is the only verb in the English language that has a subjunctive voice that's different than the past tense, being "were", but its use has been optional for decades, if not centuries.

I still think that that should be "different from the past tense..." but we've been down that road before, so we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one, Bitt. smile
