Through Much Research I Have Found 3 Advertisements For Popular Compan

Through much research I have found 3 advertisements for popular companies that range from well done to tasteless. Introduced first will be an ad that is done well and with taste. Then, an advertisement that seems to be done poorly and has a message that could be misunderstood by some people. Finally, a totally tasteless ad that has no right to be seen by anyone with manners. This first ad is from the Absolut Vodka company, although the product could be controversial, the actual content is simple and would not create an uproar. Absolut has a great ad compaign that uses familiar objects, sport teams, and places to push their products. It also appears that this advertisement it targeted at a more mature person and not a child or minor. The second article is by Nissan and it showing it's new Sport Utility Vehicle. Although the billboard could be found humorous, it also carries a message that dangerous driving is all right. It seems to say, go ahead, flip it over, some one else will pay for your mistake. This billboard has poor composition and could have been designed better, but is not the worst article found. This last advertisement is for Southern Comfort Liquor. This article definitely violates the ethics of advertising. The message of the billboard is that, if u get a girl hammered with our alcohol, she'll give it up to you. This billboard should not be allowed to be seen. Advertising that indorses what could be considered date rape should be taken off the market. In conclusion, it's not always what the article is advertising that dictates the content. This paper shows 2 different articles for alcoholic products that are on different side of the spectrum. While one is done tastefully, the other shows no regard for a female. Advertising is seen by many impressionable people, we must be careful what is going out there.

The Past of Pay is Paid

The Past of Pay is Paid The Past of Pay is Paid The Past of Pay is Paid By Maeve Maddox A reader expresses dismay at lapses in the spelling of the past form of the verb pay:    An article in the Burlington (VT) Free Press today had  this heading:   Isle La Motte to vote on spending repayed funds. [W]hen did repayed become an acceptable word?   The answer, of course, is that it hasn’t. Note: a Free Press reader pointed out the misspelling on the paper’s site: repayed Who buyed your English classes? and the misspelled word was promptly corrected. Our DWT reader offers another, more unfortunate example: My friends son received a report card from his teacher that read:   Tate payed attention in class.   Language changes and irregular verbs morph into regular verbs with -ed endings, but some words are in such frequent use that the older forms endure. It’s difficult to understand how someone educated as a teacher or a journalist could fail to master such a basic irregular spelling as paid. The OED does include the spelling â€Å"payed† as a form used â€Å"chiefly in the nautical sense†: pay: v. To smear or cover (a wooden surface or join, esp. the seams of a ship) with pitch, tar, or other substance, so as to make watertight or resistant to damage. Also (occas.) with over. Merriam-Webster lists â€Å"payed† as a past form used for another nautical expression: pay: to slacken (as a rope) and allow to run out For the everyday sense of pay as remuneration, the past tense is paid. Two other common verbs ending in -ay that also change the y to i in the past are say and lay: say/said/have said lay/laid/have laid Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?
