I went apartment hunting today, and I’ve learned at least one thing: Extra letters in the name mean extra expensive.<\/b><\/p>\n

The word point<\/i>, for example, is rather harmless and nondescript. View Point<\/i>. Point<\/i> Surfside. The Point<\/i>. Add an extra -e<\/i>, however, and the rent goes up at least $200. Pointe<\/i> Surfside had great landscaping, clean grounds, nice new exteriors, and an all-around good feel to it, but you know… that extra -e<\/i> would have killed my monthly budget.<\/p>\n

It’s true! I would urge anyone to research it.<\/p>\n

Go to a Book Shop<\/i>, and you can buy yourself some reasonably priced books. Yet, go to a Book Shoppe<\/i>, and you can count on finding some rather exotic and expensive old books. Better yet, if you find yourself in front of Ye Olde Book Shoppe<\/i>, don’t even bother going in; what with all the extra letters and fancy spellings in the name, it’s simply out of your price range.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t stop with extra letters, either. If a vendor uses the Old English version of a word—or just any of the fancier variations—the same rule applies. You like cheap old stuff? Go to a store that sells antiques<\/i>; don’t go to one that sells antiquities<\/i>. You like to eat great for less? Don’t go to any restaurants with the words la<\/i> or chez<\/i> or any of those foreign articles in the name.<\/p>\n

Trust me on this one. Extra letters mean extra expensive. Seriously.<\/p>\n

I guarantee it.<\/p>\nShare this post:
