When beer corporations began shortening the word “light” by two letters and creating the word “lite”, I made not a peep. When superfluous X’s and Z’s standing in for S’s were used to indicate coolness and popularity, I wrote it off as youthful ignorance. But when the advertising on delivery trucks is, for all intents, propaganda for poor grammar, I put my foot down.
Listen Ad Department, you’ve got just enough room on that truck to use correct, proper English as you do to use abnormally confusing double negative. I already feel brainwashed by reading that with the “Nobody does it like, Sara Lee” jingle in my brain. At least use your forces for good…English. (like getting me to use it in that summation)
