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.

Completely unrelated. One of the FB discs you gave me is blank. Of course, I'm the lame and can't remember which one, I want to say FB2. I've been meaning to tell you all week, but alas it has been the insanity at work (ok, to make it vaguely On Topic, I mean that "the insanity" and "the lame" in the "teh " sense but cannot bring myself to purposefully misspell the word "the.")
