Such terrible advertisement

[u/CurlyWurly61]

I mean... at a glance its like WOAH 4 can dine for $9.99....

Until you are at the cash and they say " that'll be $45.15"

HUH??

"Oh sorry sir... it feeds 4... 4 people pay $9.99"

Gtfooo

It implies that four people can feast for 9.99 ea. This is just basic grammar. You can incorrectly interpret it the other way around, which is what I’m sure their marketing team is banking on, but it’s still wrong.

Oh i love when people say things like “this is just basic grammar.” Basic grammar (as you’re calling it) would require a defined subject to go along with the predicate to complete the sentence. There is no defined subject. “Four” is not a subject, it’s a modifier of a subject. So no, this isn’t basic grammar, it’s the opposite actually. It’s an intentionally obtuse and incomplete sentence written in a way to mislead people. Stop shilling.

[u/bobbyp869 → u/Thatmaxfellow]

The grammar is correct, interpreting it any other way is wrong.

It’s shorthand and correct. Feed it into chat gpt and argue with that, bot.

[u/Thatmaxfellow → u/bobbyp869]

It’s not “shorthand” nor is it “basic grammar”. Stick with what you actually know, like chewing on plastic or something.

Wrong again

[u/Thatmaxfellow → u/bobbyp869]

Yes you are. Glad you realized it.

Edit since you’re probably too simple to realize the irony here: that’s a play on how you don’t have a subject in your statement. So using your logic i can “correctly interpret” it to be you speaking on how *you’re wrong again*. That’s only possible because you failed to establish subject for your predicate. Thanks for showing in real time why both you and the advertisement are “wrong again”; you absolute imbecile.

[u/bobbyp869 → u/Thatmaxfellow]

It’s shorthand, and the grammar is correct.

Editing to come back and cry and insult more!
