A slightly different football auction appeared on Ebay. Tranmere Rovers found itself up for sale with starting bids of $10 million. Though apprently there wasnt any additional cost for postage or packaging  _________________Finally joined Flickr

Ebay would see a fair chunk of money from that sale if it went ahead  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I hate the word "eBay" - it seems wrong. It is a proper noun, and thus surely have a capitalised 'E'?

In the same way as the iPhone, iTunes, iPod, iSuppli, eBuyer, etc. do?
They are all trademarks, rather than nouns in the purest sense.

It's a trend I don't like. Trust the Americans to once again bastardise the eNglish language.

Well, I think it's a bit 5 years ago, tbh. I'd be surprised if anyone's going to set anything up using the same naming convention these days. Like you, I feel it's a bit tired these days.

I wonder if they'd get much interest from Nigerian investors offering to send the money via Western Union transfers?
