"Register as a BonusLink member for FREE now" ???
panjangnya ayat tu.. muat ke petak iklan tu ek?

rasanya kalau ikut konsep advertising, 'ayat2 penarik' ni selalunya simple je
- pende ...


I couldn't agree more...

Rasanye org buat iklan ni wajar dulukan ayat2 power utk menggalakkan org baca copy iklan tu... tengok sekali imbas terus rase nak baca lagi sampai abis...
kalau diletakan perkataan 'free' di hujung ayat... sambutannya kurang berkesan... FREE REGISTER.... bila baca terus timbul minat... ;))
pastu dia akan terus baca sampai habis dan jumpa perkataan NOW... secara otomatik ada minat nak baca semua iklan tu untuk mendapat arahan seterusnya.. kehkehkehkehkeh...................

dearest momod dex

rae rs kan, kalau perkataan after tu digunakan as it is, kat dlm kfc nyer advert tu, it's still applicable kan?

sbb, after, in that sentence means = after having breakfast @ after breakfast.

so, both after and afterwards can be used kan?

what do you think?

how did you mean --- digunakan as it is?

you can't use the word after  - just as it is there -
because the sentence won't be completed -

either you said -
just remember to report for work after (what?)... you've finished
or just remember to report for work afterwards -

just so you and amazed must know

boob - also means a silly mistake -

for example :

forgetting the President's name was a bit of a boob -


hence - the name of this thread -

which means -

let's look at this silly mistake -

maybe it's just an informal usage kot, cause i always use it like that.

like -
em: "hey, am gonna go and talk to suki for a bit. you don't mind do you?"
me:"nah. don't forget to come back after yeah?"

after in the sentence meaning after em has talked to suki.

come to think of it, i really think it was an informal use. hmmppphhh....

well - actually it's incorrect to use that in the sentence -
tapi macam raeshad kata -  informal use -
dan your friend pun faham apa you nak cakap -

macam kita cakap melayu juga -
tak boleh diguna untuk dijawab di dalam peperiksaan
kerana sesetengah ayat kita guna memang informal -

Would you eat something with a name like this? One wonders what else it could be called.
