Since I'm Norwegain I have to ask.
I'm not trying to be (overly) sarcastic, but here goes:
Is your spelling and "sentence building" suffering from laziness or lack of knowledge?
I had to strain my 13 braincells to understand your post.
(And if you think you can avoid an answer by bashing my (possible) bad spelling or my use of less than idiomatic language; I'm allowed, I'm just an ignorant european)
I'd like to know.

So you're saying that basic spelling in your native tongue takes a conscious effort, and anger takes up enough of your cognitive resources to deny you the ability to spell properly?
I'll stop now.

They are stupid! They didn't post the amount in Indian currency, South African currency, Pesos, Canadian dollars.... dumb! Maybe, just maybe, they thought you might be able to do the conversion yourself. After all there are a LOT of different currencies in the world other than Euros and US dollars. Do the math.

Another "its american so it must be better" assumption.

Geez didnt know I would get this much heat. Sorry if I offend you guys but I didnt mean to do that. I just wanted my money back. Which I did so I am happy now.

LOL .... don't confuse "offend" with "entertain", now. :D

ROFL
Jetb123 you are right...EVERYTHING in the whole world should be translated into US$ so that Americans don't have to work out exchange rates. Afterall...America rules, not just the internet...but the WORLD.
:D

You go to a foreign commercial website to purchase something and you are shocked to find they list the prices in their home currency and not in U.S. greenbacks? THE HORROR!

It's a sad fact but Jet123 is a shining example of our public school system in the U.S. He can probably recite verbatum the theme song to his favorite T.V. show or name the latest pop star but I don't think he'd know that New Mexico is a state in our Union and not part of Mexico. The poor guy probably doesn't know what his state capital is.

Mad for 3USD??????? :eek:

Hey Jet, just look at the currency symbol next to it. That will save you a lot of time and money...
If it doesn't look like $ then you better go find out the right price before you buy it.

Unfair - that film carried a 12 rating over here. Sorry, don't know what that is in US currency. Probably about 20 credits though. Anyway, play nice - I'm fond of the jet boy, he makes me laugh beer through my nose.

Hate to say this but you do offend me. You make most Americans look bad. The total lack of education and sense in some of todays 'graduates' frankly scares the crap out of me.
Sure it's a reflection on all of us. The education system in America has gone down the toilet. Some of it you can blame on the kids, some on the parents, some on the gov't...
How could anybody order something off the internet, priced in a foreign currency and not find out how much it would actually be in US currency before making the purchase? It is beyond me. It's ridiculous.

Sorry and this is not the way I was brought up. It was me on my own. I opened this thread just to hopefully get some helpful replies back. Not just to make you guys mad.

Not mad jet, sad is more like it... :(
