No One At the Board Meeting Cleared Their Throat and Raised Their Hand?

  1. The problem stems from variations in spellings that no one thinks about:

    pedicure vs. podiatry / podiatrist
    The word SHOULD be spelled “podicure” resulting in a product name of “Podi File.” (Just don’t pick your feet in Poughkeepsie!)

    Then there’s:

    pediphile / pedifile (etc.) vs. pediatry, pediatrist, pediatric
    with completely different meanings but with their prefix signifying the age group involved.

    People in marketing need to pay attention to word usage. Aber, Ich bin nicht ein Grammer Nazi!

    “Aber, Ich bin nicht ein Grammer Nazi!”

    …that’s good, because “Grammer” is “Grammatik” in Hochdeutsch and should be hyphenated if youre gendering from the noun “Nazi” (der), which you apparently are from your use of “ein”.

    Thus, it SHOULD be “Ich bin nicht ein Grammatik-Nazi!”.

    Although it might be cleaner to negate “Grammatik-Nazi” by using the indefinine article “kein”, cf. “Ich bin kein Grammatik-Nazi!”,
    but perhaps Uncle Al with his vastly superior language skills could weigh in on that.

    …not sure about using “Aber” as a bridge between languages eithr, but that’s a different subject for another day…

  3. Maybe marketing wizard Alissa Heinerscheid got hired at—(checks notes)—Swosh after getting canned by Anheuser-Busch. DEI combined with ignorant Millennial Marketing majors is a bad combo.

    And this is why I say “child molester” instead of pedophile. The word “Pedophile” sounds harmless, clinical and normal. And it is meant to sound that way. Wake up Millennials. You’re being sold an abomination.
