Nitpicky

This ad drives me (sarah) nuts. This kind of thing doesn't bother me at all in conversation or casual writing, but a national ad campaign? They should know better.

I'm with you on this one. Whoever put this together should have consulted with THEIR grammar book before publishing. ;) ha-ha

Good one, Julie.

Funny thing is, though, I just had to read your comment twice to get the joke. Unless I'm grading papers, I usually gloss right over those kinds of mistakes... But this ad was too bad to ignore!

Terrible. If you're going to use a cliche at least use a grammatically correct cliche. (Conversely, if you're going to ignore the rules of grammar, please do so creatively).
