RedM Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've just seen an advert for that new Natalie Portman film, Black Swan. At the end the voice-over bloke (American) said "In cinemas January twenty-one". Not January twenty-first but January twenty-one. W.T.F.F. is that all about?

TonytotheB Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Surely if it's UK and using correct grammar, then it should say "21st of January"? Or am I going mad?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be correct but I'm guessing it's an American ad that has just been dumbed down even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I havent seen the advert so in effect Red M is now doing some good advertising for them !!!!!!!!!! Or maybe thats the plan !!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Just to add. Americans don't say January 21 etc. At least my wife, her friends and her family don't. I think it's just a stupid advert. Another one that annoys me is the one for that financial insurance body. That one with the signs and the bear. The woman says "Set up by government to bla bla." I'm sure it should be "THE government" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I've heard there's a pretty hot scene in the film. It looks weird and intriguing. I'll probably watch it when it's on TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
