I was on the bus home yesternight and I saw this poster (I apologize for the flare on Rosie’s face):
“A Happy Journey Starts Like That“
Seriously?
Shouldn’t it be “like this”? As in, a happy journey starts this way as opposed to that way? I don’t know. Like That sure sounds less acceptable to me. It’s so… lyk dat if you catch if you catch my drift.
Another thing, WTF, are all the words part of one big title? As in, why initial capitalize ALL THE WORDS?
Well, one simple explanation is that whoever designed and wrote this poster is as tasteless as the ones who came up with the campaign in the first place.
I think it’s correct grammatically. I’m not sure though. But i think the whole pck campaign is just stupid.
It is grammatically correct but the meaning is wrong.
E.g.
You have to eat as much as that boy there.
You have to eat as much as this boy here.
Wrong: You have to eat as much as that boy here.
If they are referring to the steps in the rest of the poster, it’s “here” so they should use “this” instead. Small thing, but it’s a difference between speaking lyk dat speaking like this.
Yes, the PCK campaign is stupid- that’s a universal truth :P
