IMO, grammar in advertising is overrated. Write a solve for how people talk.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. People don’t realize how stupid they sound when they get sucked into using the latest business jargon. It’s like they all cheated off each other’s papers in business school, and now they're parroting it back in meetings.

But what if, and here me out here, we put “the” in front of them? 🤯

My biggest pet peeve is how people use caveat as a verb. One can’t caveat something. But you could certainly add a caveat to something. Am I alone here haha

You can verb nouns and you can noun verbs. That's the beauty of English (and most languages, to be honest).

"That invitation is a solution to the request.” Vs: “That invite is a solve to the ask.”

Additional Posts in Copywriters

Anyone ever find themselves unintentionally stuck writing in the same voice for different brands? Not sure if it’s a mental block or lack of inspiration, but I just started working on a new account and can’t seem to find the reset button.

Any tips, advice, stuff to read/watch, or shared experience would be much appreciated.

Thx everyone.
