Most bladder-leak pads are ^made similar^ Really? ^Really?^

[Jux]

Is this right? to me it sounds completely wrong, mangled, awful.

I wonder what's the point of trying to have our kids pay attention in school when they know they can get a good job copy writing like this. Education? Don't bother.

?

What do you think it should say ?

Its not clear from your title exactly what was wrote , have you added the extra really on the end ?

Made similarly: it's an adverb.

You mean 'written' not 'wrote'

Sorry couldn't resist!

This.

Actually "made similar" and "made similarly" are both correct but with different meanings. In one case the making (the method) is similar and in the other the product is similar.

Pedantic people need to have learnt Latin to understand adverb and adjective agreements, just sayin'

But the meaning is likely not that different products have been taken and then made similar to each other.
The writer would be trying to get across the fact that all the others are made similarly but the particular brand is different.
But I can only assume that through life knowledge not the grammar used.
Anyway I'm an engineer not a language pedant. Just strolled in by accident.

No, they don't. They just need to understand English.

Yes, they're made similarly, not made similar. Two different meanings and if the writer had paid attention in school, they'd know that. As would all the people who signed off on it.

I enjoy pedantry, but I do think these things are important. Do we want the world to think we've devolved into a bunch of peasants?
