super extra new
i can understand on ebay when someone lists something as “mint.” but i’m not sure i get why they will use the word MINT three times. “EF 50mm Lens *MINT* *MINT* *MINT*”
it makes me mad! and a little sad. to see someone pick up a keyboard like a bat and smash the sense out of a word. it’s like that habit of saying “rather unique” or “virtually unique” or “quite unique.” YOU ARE SUCKING THE POWER OUT OF A WORD THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED TO NEED NO MODIFIER!!! that’s how much power the inventor of that word gave it! it stands alone and in standing alone banishes the NEEEEEED for a modifier because there is NO doubt and NO comparison and if an item is MINT that means it is mint condition. just jam that word down one time and that says it all! we get it. the item is in the same condition it was in when minted; made, created, stamped out, poured and dried and burnished and polished and packaged and sold. MINT does not mean “cool” or “wow” or CHECK IT OUT!
ah well. I waste time getting annoyed at vendors when i should actually be paying them to give me some coffee. which, of course, i prefer *FRESH* *FRESH* *FRESH*
