Now I'm no pedantic English teacher, ready to jump on every little misuse of the language, but...
there is one radio ad that has me concerned over whether I should let the store know of their mistake. It's a furniture and appliance store that offers terms, as most do. In the ad, the announcer enthuses about "Smith City's infamous Easypay."
I guess whoever dreamed up that one thought that infamous was the same as famous. Not so - infamous means notorious.
At least people who get into trouble over their payments can't claim they weren't warned.
Truth in advertising?
