    Within the last 30 minutes I saw 2 different ads of people either blatantly lying or have no clue what a cord of wood is. Whenever I see these ads I want to inform them of their error and tell them how much an actual cord is. But me being "The Redneck Yankee" as my coworkers from NC call me. I can not come up with a way to tell the guy selling a 6'× 4'× 20" wood rack won't hold half a cord, or the guy selling "true cord" when he has a 6' × 10' landscape trailer of loosely thrown wood would have to be piled 3 ft high across the entire length to equal a cord without sounding like a complete a**h***.

    A simple reply of "a true cord is 128 CF, or 4' x 4' x 8'" would get the point across I think...
