Incorrectly Used Words
Have you noticed that words are often misused? Adverts are one of the biggest culprits  A credit card advert says "0% APR on new purchases" aren't all purchases new? A cleaning product advert says that it is new and improved. How can it be both, its either new or its improved  Have you spotted any of these? Let us know

The new Vanish advert. "Intelligent stain seekers seek out stains that you may not have seen" How can it be intelligent? It's a powder!

I get quite mad at adverts that bodly state that their products are 100% natural. Like that fact should really impress us
 Well Dog muck is 100% but it doesnt mean I want it in the product

What about the Cravendale ad that says Milk is filtered to make it purer -how can it be purer than when it comes out of the cow? Misleading statement i think
