As an immigrant, I always question my English. Sometimes I am absolutely sure how it should be, and I am right, and sometimes I am wrong. But I, probably, hesitate more than many of you when it comes to a situation, where I believe it is wrong…
Surfing our MLS today, I run into the following description of a condominium building:
“Each unit is equipped with private balconies and laundry”. It sounds to me as a rough phrase and I stumble into it as into a sharp knife. There is more here than simply the word “equipped” that bothers me, but other stuff is simply sloppy, while “equipped” sounds plain wrong.
I would have said that each unit has a balcony, and washer and dryer hook-ups are in the units (as opposed to being in the hallway).
I think balconies are not equipment, and this is the wrong word to describe them, but maybe I am all wrong?
What say you?
P.S. When I do not blog, I sell condos in Daytona area, and if you are curious what you can get and how much it could cost, just follow this link to the information about condos in Daytona Beach Area.
