Descriptive adjectives and ebay.

What's ebay doing to the English language?
Recently, two advertisements were posted with the following pictures. 

Extremely good condition A-1 The camera pictured on the left  (click for larger pic) was described as "Extremely good condition". I have no arguments with that, if anything it is an undersell. The owner has treasured this 30 year old camera and looked after it well.

Excellent condition A-1

In contrast, the camera pictured on the right  (click for larger pic) was described as "Excellent condition". Really? In what context can that be described as excellent condition?

Either the seller's day job is  as a real estate agent, or it is excellent as in "Excellent, it still looks like a camera after several hammer blows".

A Global "Camera Style"

Global Camera Style - Yahoo Pipe

A number of "Camera Style" blogs have popped up on the web in recent times. These sites document some fantastic, often vintage cameras and the people that use them.
It seems to have begun with John Sypal's Tokyo camera style.
From Ottowa to Jakarta and Oslo to Tokyo, courtesy of Yahoo pipes (please be patient, it may take a little time to load), here’s a mashup of the feeds from 30 or so similar sites to produce a "Global Camera Style".
If you’re a fan of any of the camera style sites and love browsing photos of vintage cameras, subscribe to the RSS feed here,  or view on NetVibes.
