I take it your clients are taking liberties with language again? :P Curious. The "actually even worse than that" part must be self-referential. :P

Is there anyone at that company that actually speaks English in a way that means the words go in the right order? Is there any chance of finding someone who you could send emails like this on to, and say "I have just received this from one of your colleagues, and, frankly, think they should be drug-tested. I am unable to understand your request - could you please clarify?"

Ah, that makes sense now! :P Sorry, we get terrible connectivity and internet speeds over here, so I tend to gloss over links if I see they lead to YouTube because videos have been known to take in the region of forty-five minutes to load a ten-minute clip.

The thing that really pokes my Nerd Rage button about that series of adverts, though, isn't the fact they deliberately decided to celebrate shitty English as 'amusing'. It's that they PUT A F*CKING APOSTROPHE IN THEIR ABOMINATION IMPLYING THAT'S HOW YOU FORM COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES! APOSTROPHES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY YOU UTTER MORONS ASDKDFHSHFDAGFSFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Ahem. My apologies. :P Perhaps you're right, and it is just to wind us up. That would put it as the American equivalent of the Go Compare adverts over here, I guess. *shudders*
