DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO PUT THIS HERE OR IN PEDANTS CORNER BUT THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!!!!!

[TooTickyDoves]

That Autoglass ad on the right....it says EFFECT instead of AFFECT!

This cannot be allowed.

[cornsilk]

Bugger - I'm going to have to sit here and watch the fecking ads now.

[cornsilk]

It's still not come up

[TooTickyDoves]

I'm trying to remember which page I was on when I saw it.

[TooTickyDoves]

I didn't hallucinate it, honest!! I did a double take - I'd just clicked off the page and had to click back to check.

[cornsilk]

Have you been at the cooking sherry already?

[TooTickyDoves]

No no really, it was there!

[AndATigerschickInAPearTree]

I just read it - it says "When can you clain without affecting your no claims bonus?"

Had to refresh the page about a zillion times but it came up eventually

[TooTickyDoves]

Oh thank goodness you've seen it too!!

How many people must that have got past? Including, presumably, MNHQ.....

[AndATigerschickInAPearTree]

Must proof read!!!

[TooTickyDoves]

No, it actually says effect. It will not effect your no claim bonus or something

[TooTickyDoves]

C'mon, we need some OUTRAGE here!

[cornsilk]

I've just seen an auto glass ad - didn't see the effect/affect bit BUT.... dire misuse of commas and beginning a sentence with 'and' -

'And, we can ....'

OUTRAGE!

[AndATigerschickInAPearTree]

LOL - sorry, the one I saw definitely said 'affecting' but there are often several versions ... I'll keep a look out and promise to be suitably OUTRAGED.

It's one of my pet hates, too, so I feel your pain.

[AndATigerschickInAPearTree]

SEEN IT!
After refreshing another zillion times I typed my last message; pressed post and there it was ... the offending item!
(The one I saw flashes red and white a few times before the message comes up - this one is blue.)

I AM OUTRAGED!
Such a simple mistake to make.
Like you say: how many people had to see that before it got into circulation?

[stuffitllama]

I've been told to come here and I'm white with fury.

Actually I haven't seen it but any old bandwagon for me. Hello Toot. if it does say effect instead of affect then how very dare it. Effect of course being a verb but an intransitive as any fule kno.

[stuffitllama]

scarlet with fury

ahem

[stuffitllama]

I'll never buy Autoglass again. (what is it?)

I urge all others to do the same.

[TooTickyDoves]

Indeed. Let's all boycott Autoglass. I mean, if the person who specialises in wording their adverts isn't up to the job, would you want to trust their glass? I think not.

[YetMoreTech]

MNHQ have nothing to do with the content of the ads. Why don't you pop down to your local Autoglass and have a word with the man behind the counter? I am sure he'll think you're perfectly reasonable and sane and normal.

[TooTickyDoves]

I can't because I have resolved not to set foot on their premises. I shall have to stand on the pavement and poke a sharp message through the window on a long stick.

[Katisha]

I would be happy to furnish you with further supplies of OUTRAGE!

[Flamespar]

I don't think that YMT is taking this seriously enough

[SuperBunny]

Tech, very disappointing.

I can't see the ad because I get crappy different ones but I am OUTRAGED too.
