There's something wrong with the relative, I think a misplaced
``ever.''

"Ever" seems similar to "at any time".  Your example ad sounds
perfectly normal, to me.


I'm no native, but I can't imagine other way to write it. I suppose
'It's the best selection we have ever had' is an ellipsis.

One of the ancientest rituals of the sci.lang "community" is wondering
what, if any, Ron's native langwidge is.


ancientest ... ever

It does seem slightly stilted to me, though, and I would prefer ``It's
the best selection we've ever had''.

has had better
