>But for a funny play like what you just saw, I recommend keeping an eye on the ads (not an ear, just an eye) on TV, without sound, but with subtitles closed captions on. Very often, the last sentence from one ad will stay uncleared for two or three more, so you get makeup or diapers "built tough", or a truck you need to ask your doctor about.

Since you like to document/discuss the oddities of the English language - and there are two or three of them <g> - I'll mention something I saw in a shoe store today. The price on a pair of boots was marked in big numbers as $14.98. In smaller numbers below that it said "Our price $49.99". Huh? They are selling a $15 pair of boots for 3.3 times its price? No, of course not, I figured. Well, they were $14.98 on sale and what they meant was "$14.98 - Regular price $49.99", but who was the ditz that came up with that wording?

Now, on another subject, what key combination would wipe out my reply as I'm typing it? I had finished that paragraph above and leaned over to check something and somehow I must have hit some key combo and when I looked back, all my reply was gone. It had returned to a state like it was immediately after I hit the reply button. Only the original posting text was visible and my reply was gone. Just a bit frustrating!
