Commercials for 2014 may have even more exceptional grammar than those from 2013

Happy New Year. Last Year I wrote 130 blog entries and enjoyed 2247 views. This year looks like it will have a lot more of the same. Feel free to follow me on Twitter or follow this blog.

Speedway is promoting their coffee as even "more exceptional.” Merriam-Webster Online defines exceptional a few different ways, including:

  • not usual : unusual or uncommon
  • unusually good : much better than average
  • mentally or physically disabled

So, Speedway’s coffee is more much better, more unusual, or more uncommon.


I have not had any of their coffee recently say wether or not it is exceptional. I think that they sell gasoline at the Speedways, too (I'm kidding. I often fuel up my car at a Speedway.) A better tie in would be to say:

 "An exceptional opportunity to fuel your body and your car at the same time."
