With respect, is strong rebuke in order to this 'material'?

From Derek's link:

>So, next time when you will plan to buy any property in Texas and Pennsylvania ...

I'm going to venture to guess that the market of members of the public buying property that is situated in both Texas and Pennsylvania is smaller than the chances of the greyhounds ever catching the mechanical rabbit at the track. That ad copy definitely gives me the sense that it was written by someone for whom English was a second language. It looks like a complete waste of time as a marketing effort in any event.

Google Language?

The idiomatic phrasing has all the earmarks of a machine translation, a la "Google language" or some other program.

Question is....from what other country are people buying land only in Texas and Pennsylvania?

This appears to be a Canadian ad directed to Canadians, therefore a piece of good advice, given the difference between our legal systems.

I would guess that it is aimed at the Gas industry since the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania and the Barnet and Eagle Ford shales are pretty busy here. It could have been written for the Chinese that have recently put billions into these two areas or it could be for a number of different languages.

I know of one Texas oilfield service company with specialized knowledge and techniques (drilling, not surveying) that has set up shop in Western Pennsylvania. They expect to be there about 2 years and then they are going to South Texas. So the Texas/Pennsylvania connection is not that far fetched if the surveying involves the oilfield in any way.

Dear Richard-

Fear not, even with Green Bay being in Wisconsin, with Green Bay being so near Minnesota, in spite of the nice countryside and people, with Minnesota's present fiscal system needing a bit of tightening, The North Aboyne Mergers and Acquisition Bureau, has put a "hold" on annexing Green Bay for the moment.

Assuming you do speak English in Green Bay (and not American or Canadian), Kent's suspicion about greyhounds and their 'catch-up' proclivity bears substantial merit when a review of the possible author of this 'ouvre de mismogrification' of the English language reveals one Alexey Puriy late of the burg of Moscow, Russia per: http://website.informer.com/Individual+Alexey+Puriy+%28%29.html.

Alexey has a "history":

Oddly enough, the first licensed surveyor I worked under was from Pennsylvania. I learned very much about work from this man and little about the art of surveying as he was not one to share his knowledge. I do know that he came to Texas as a forester and became a surveyor.

His partner was a true surveyor and was probably responsible for keeping the forester from being run out of town on a rail.

Derek, that article reminds me of some of the 400 word dribble that come at the end of several days of binge writing to fill quota before the job expires or to complete a required essay. The subject did not make any sense to the writer so the writer cannot convey any worthy information of the subject to the reader.

I wonder if that company was among the many that have contacted me in the past wanting a fee to add me to their registry.
