Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 3091511, member: 7597"] Propaganda? I did not say that. My wife did, she is a non native speaker who speaks four languages. Granted she has a C2 level, majored in English at one of the best Universities in Latin America, has a masters in business, is a CEO of a business where she is in touch with English speakers and has a better understanding of the rules and intricacies of English grammar than many native speakers BUT she still holds onto the occasional idiosyncrasies when she speaks English, such as the above. I find it endearing and funny, actually. Maybe you would have had to be there and then you would understand the context, but when she said it, it was super funny. I had to tell her "they are called commercials." But there is some truth in her mistake, that can't be denied. Anyway, I digress. No offense but I thought you had to be from another planet to like commercials. I always figured most people skip them, mute them or go to the kitchen when they appear. I mean, yah, 1 in 100 are funny or interesting, but most are just..ugh. If I can tie it in with a major Uconn win, sure, that specific one will be cool too but generally I am too nervous during a tense Uconn game in March to even pay attention/remember them. Otherwise, mute/food/bathroom break. [/QUOTE]
