What happens when one uses a translation program to write an ad on Craigslist. Funny.

While searching for a house to rent - in a college town where the dorms are full - I came upon this ad. I really hope that the person who wrote this was either a non-native speaker of English or was wielding a thesaurus without a license.

 Rather than link to the ad, here's the funniest part of the text:

 This admirable 3 bedroom house has great curve appeal, reflecting the inside where you can find: Beautiful Title ceiling shipped from Europe. Granite bathroom countertop. Jacuzzi tub with heat. Huge family room. Wall to wall carpeting in all 4 bedrooms living room, and in the hallway

What the hell is a "title ceiling" ? Curve appeal? And can a house be "admirable"?

 I think I'm gonna like this town.

I've seen lots of ladies with curve appeal but never a house!

I'd say that person used suggestions from spell-check, absolutely.

Wait wait? does this mean you're looking at the job in Germany?? I'm more confused than that Craig's list post!

No, GG - I have job and moving updates! I'll post those today. This ad was for a house in San Marcos, TX.
