[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 5832886, member: 78949"]Thank you, Figtree3, now I understand what you mean :joyful: I could not figure out where the humour was, because I am not native. Actually it seems to me that the seller is also not a native speaker and thus does not know that there is a word "corral" with quite different meaning than "coral". I didn't know either, until now :) Thanks again! No need to make Bronwen explain again and again, it could be rather boring and annoying for her, I can go back and see the explanation. I think I read it, though. P.S. Now reading my previous post, I start wondering if it sounds polite enough. My sincere apology, if not, it was not intentional. When I studied eons ago, "I beg your pardon" was presented to me as a polite excuse but it might have changed since then.[/QUOTE]
