Not sure what you're asking.

Are you asking why people say "For Sell" rather than "For Sale"?

You can blame that on our wonderful education system in this country.

That's what you write when your item "needs sold"

I've heard the mixing tenses thing is an Ohio/western PA thing, but I've seen it from people in lots of places.

I run a lot of classified advertising and my website gets a lot of hits every day.
Some of the responses I get are appallingly written.
Not typos.
The poor use of the English language and the spelling are sad comments on the educational system.

One that gets me all the time is "loosing" for "losing."

I am "loosing" money on the deal.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

That's one of the big ones for me as well, because it is so blatantly wrong for me.
