[Ads-l] In a Lending Tree ad

[Wilson Gray]

> Townhomes

WTF?!! Are you saying that the word, "townhome," exists *historically*
and is *independent* of a single, on-line money-lenders' ad?! Cut my
legs and call me "shorty"! It still amazes me how well Jim Crow
worked. It's a good thing that _townhome_ wasn't on the SAT's!
