Hi Che,

Do you know any advertising slogans that are true? If so, do you like them?

Hi Torsten
I think none of advertising slogans are true... this is all to earn more money...

Hi Che,

Do you think that there are people who 'believe' in advertising slogans? How do you think does advertising and 'earning money' work?

I think there are very few people who beleive in advertising slogans ,it just increases interest and the product sells better...
Of course advertising and 'earning money' work ,cause in the other case owners of the product wouldn't have spent so much money Smile

As far as I know, [mobajl] is not wrong in the UK, or at least I hear British people say [mobajl] sometimes.

Catherine Zeta-Jones pronounces it T-[mobajl] on the TV commercials in the US, but we don't notice anything strange, because she's British. If they had some American actress on the ad pronouncing it the same way, we'd think she had literacy problems.

Hi Jamie,

I've just heard Jim Boulden of CNN say "T-[mobajl]" although he is American. Maybe this was because he works in London for CNN Europe?

Maybe, but an American's interpretation might be that to work for CNN he probably has to be an elitist with Euro-envy and feels that pronouncing certain words like the British will make people in other countries accept him as not being a "real" American. There are some Americans who think this way.

It could also be down to his cosmopolitan heritage. Or he simply wants to convey the impression of sounding international/neutral.
