Grammar and syntax are not rocket science. If the advertiser does not care enough to get it right, why should I care enough to bother with his product? It seems like there are 2 possibilities, niether of which are fill me with a desire to support what they are doing: A) The advertiser thinks I'm too ignorant to notice his mistakes. B) The advertiser is too incompetent to notice the mistakes himself. Basically, either he thinks I'm an idiot or he actually is an idiot. Either way, I'm not really interested in buying what he's selling. The other annoying thing for me is simply that it conveys a certain disrespect. Grammar and syntax are not rocket science.
