Man walks into a welding shop and .......

The problem with written word is there is no way to know what context it was written in.
"Now you own an Italian made Lincoln inverter..."
That statement especially with the ... could easily be taken as a slam on Lincoln.

Except that is was followed proceeded by "Good deal" and followed by "I imagine that the 1000.00 inverter will pay for itself in a few days"

Context is a wonderful thing. Hard to put "what a piece of junk" in place of the ... if you read the whole post (ie: "Good deal. Now you own an Italian made Lincoln inverter, what a piece of junk. I imagine that the 1000.00 inverter will pay for itself in a few days")

Just being the devils advocate, the Italian made didn't need to be included to say it was a good deal. It was a fantastic deal!!!

No, a fantastic deal would have been free.

Free would be a steal.
