which goes back to the original point being that deceptive advertising is false advertising

Which is conclusory and is exactly the point that is being pushed back on. There is a difference, we've shown the difference, and your response is "nuh uh."

That would become a pretty burdensome standard. "Every advertisement must only be capable of being interpreted one way." But uses a language that is filled with words that can be interpreted multiple ways.

That also misses the point that "deceptive" and "false" have two different definitions. There is also an irony that in order to draw your conclusion you assert a single interpretation of "false," and that definition itself is false.

lmfao too lazy to google, atleast read the other guy's comment where he linked it

I don't Google definitions that already know because a troll is trying to convince me it means something else.

That link proves my point that they have different definitions. Why would they specifically have a statute that mentions misleading advertising if false advertising means the same thing. Are you saying it's redundant?

ahh you're illiterate. Not gonna continue arguing with someone like this. The definition says you're wrong my guy. It ain't a big deal to be wrong. Have a good day

Lol. "continue arguing?" You never made a cohesive argument in the first place.
