There is a prescription for bad grammar

I found another example of bad grammar in advertising, just when I thought that I was going to run out of fodder for this blog. I was watching television this afternoon and there was an advertisement for a COPD Drug (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.)

The actress who said "If you have COPD like me..." must have been thinking about her Facebook post. The real way to say that would be "If you have COPD as I do..."

If you find more examples of bad grammar in advertising, let me know.
