Advertising Bad Grammar
In a full-page ad in the Sunday New York Times, no less. Hello, History Channel? Hire a proofreader!
* This was obviously in the Sunday paper the weekend before Thanksgiving. We still haven't gotten around to reading the whole thing, so I just came across this ad this morning.

Perhaps its not as bad as it seems. Maybe they just left out a comma. You know, the show is called, "The pilgrims are worth a lot more," then, you go eat.
Who am I kidding, my grammar sucks. Yeah, I had to read it three times. :(

I just saw a national ad for a new heart drug (Coreg from GSK) that had full screen titles that read: "One out of four people who have a heart attack" (next slide:) "suffer (sic) another one." One is singular people. One in four SUFFERS. Drives me batty that the bad grammar went through all those marketing people unnoticed.
