has anyone else seen this? today I saw a television commercial advertising verbs. it showed images of people participating in various races (swimming, skating, wheelchair racing, etc) while flashing the corresponding words across the screen. then olympic gold-medalist Apollo Anton Ohno skates up to the camera and says (with a straight face), "verb.. its what you do."
apparently verbs arent getting enough exposure in english class. of course, in the interest of fairness, I think all parts of speech should get their own tv ads. if only because I want to see someone deliver the line, "noun.. its a person, place, or thing."
