hurrah!

I have just seen a drug commercial that included the caution that the product is "not for people with serious liver problems; or for women who are nursing or pregnant, or may become pregnant".

I am over the MOON.

Why?  Because look!  They've coordinated properly!  Most drug warnings say "women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant".  Which is bad bracketing -- expanded out like an equation, it says women who are nursing, women who are pregnant, or women who are may become pregnant.  Tilt!  But the ad I just saw coordinated the two things with "are" separately from the one with "may".  Hurrah!

If you're in need of cholesterol medication, note that the product is Zetia, and their copywriters have passed Ass/Elbow Differentiation.
