Used car for sale “manual transmission”

Have we already discussed all the used car sites that list manually shiftable automatic transmissions as “manual” ?

Is this a situation where the sellers don’t know the difference or where the sellers are trying to somehow dupe the potential buyers into looking at the ad? I can almost forgive the point if the ad is for a ***** box dd where being able to manually shift your minivan is somehow a perk. But for a sporting car that was legitimately available with both a true manual and either a dct or tc auto.....why would you ever list the dct or tc as a “manual” just because it had paddles? Are sellers and buyers of these cars really that uninformed of what was available?

Try shopping for a 911, M3, Aston....it’s strange to use the transmission filter and not filter out the two pedal cars.
