Off - Help with English language
Hi guys, sorry for off topic I just need small help with written English. I am confused a little. What this people saying in here
WE WILL FOR NO REASON ISSUE A PARTIAL REFUND ON ANY ITEM
Is this like, "no, no way you can get any partial refund" or "yes, just ask"?

Shouldn't it be "we will NOT for no reason..." ?

Heh, good question
It seems to me like it can be read both ways..
I would suspect the first you suggest, not the latter, but I really don't feel sure..

As an editor, I can tell you that their meaning is "no partial refunds, under any circumstances." Had they written that sentence correctly, it would have appeared as:
"UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL WE ISSUE A PARTIAL REFUND ON ANY ITEM"
(A double negative in one sentence is also not correct.)
Namaste,
Morty -_-
