... would you expect from the following advert:

'Curtains
£60 a pair (I have 4) or £160 for all 4'

You reply to say you'll take all 4 for £160.
How many individual curtains would you expect?

No, @Ch3rish, it's not a big deal, and is now sorted. Curtains returned and refunded.

I'm just curious as i'm trying to get into writing and editing so I was a bit taken aback to have misunderstood something so horribly.

So she sent you 2 pairs she sold together for £160, when she wanted £60 per pair?
😂
It's her that's either very clever or very stupid.

I've changed my mind. Didn't do the maths first time round.

It was her poor writing, not your comprehension, OP.
Good use of Pedants' Corner btw!Grin
