Like it or not, people judge you by the words you use, so it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably a good idea to use the right ones, so people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t misjudge you.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re selling something, that item is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153for sale\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.

This should make its selling price lower than if I included the sail in the sale. Confused yet?
