knowman's definitions
Someone who corrects the English mistakes in the work of another writer. The shepherd who safely guides thoughts and ideas through the swamps of the English language. A maintenance worker who struggles to keep that cobbled together bridge between the writers mind and the readers mind called English from collapsing. A harmless drudge who works just as hard on a toilet paper ad as on a work that will be considered a jewel of western literature. A pain in the neck when it's your paper they're correcting.
The quality of your paper is A+, the mechanics is D- , you are a miserable proof reader. I really stink at English my spouse has to proofread all my writing.

Get the cynicmug. A fictional crooked ebay seller,from Mr. Whipple in the old Charmin commercials , in other words a seller of ass-wipe. Mr Whipple will send the wrong items, and when contacted admit that it is his mistake. Mr Whipple will then offer to give a refund provided you send the items back. Paying $10 to return a $10 item is not worthwhile, and Mr Whipple counts on this. If you point out it is his mistake, and he should pay to fix it Mr Whipple will tell you to read his return policy. If you threaten to give him negative feedback if he doesn't set things right Mr Whipple will shoot back that you are trying to blackmail him , and he is filing a complaint with ebay. By now you realise that Mr Whipple has done this many times before, and the $10 isn't worth the hassle. Signs of Whippledom an item is listed at a good price and gets no bidders item is re-listed at a better price and still no takers. Buyers who would be interested have been burned by the seller,or know about his past scams won't touch it. The seller has some really nasty feedback, and his standard reply is I offered to return their money. A seller whose refund policy is the buyer is responsible for all shipping no exception's deal where the items' cost is cheap and the shipping expensive. What to do. If it makes you feel better leave nasty feedback (like it really does any good), warn your friends, accept the fact that you have been cheated by a pro, and forget about it.
The seller sent the wrong stuff, and expects me to spend $10 for shipping to get a $10 refund, Mr Whipple strikes again. This is the third time I got cheated by Mr Whipple, how many of those guys are there ?
