The scary thing about ignorance is that you simply do not know you're ignorant about something until you're made conscious of it. And at that time , not only does one realize you were ignorant, but now you're also ashamed and embarrassed, to form matters worse. While most are capable of creating mistakes whether through ignorance or forgetfulness, I even have found that there's no better thanks to learn something than through the humiliation of being caught in a mistake , regardless of how inadvertent. While ignorance could also be bliss, its ramifications are truly mortifying!
As marketing professionals, it's our job to mastermind brilliant ways to bring success to the clients we represent. A marketer's tools include effective use of language, visuals and sounds, all of which should work together to make a memorable and powerful symbol of appeal.

Grammatical errors seem to require predominance. Examples are often found both in written and spoken form, published and broadcast in news, commentary and advertising formats, also as weather and traffic reports. nobody seems immune lately and therefore the more such errors proliferate through the media, the more the population seems to adopt them as proper form.

One of the foremost prevalent of those errors involves the addition of the preposition "of" where it doesn't belong, as in "not too big 'of' a deal," or "not regrettable 'of' a ride," which more correctly should be "not too big a deal" and "not regrettable a ride." I understand where the confusion comes from since it's correct to mention "not an excessive amount of of a drag ." Why is one correct and not the other? it's all supported whether the word before the word "of" may be a noun or an adjective. If it's a noun, following it with the word "of" is correct. If it's an adjective, following it with the word "of" is wrong . Here may be a very helpful explanation from .. Read more
"The word 'of' only belongs with words like 'much,' so 'too much of a problem' would be correct, but 'too big of a task' should instead be 'too big a task.' This goes for many adjectives, for instance: 'too blue a shirt', 'too tall a building', 'too deep an ocean', etc."
