reading car adverts I notice  &apos: after words what does it mean ?

I believe it is an error and indicates there should be an apostrophe but it's showing as code. Nothing to do with the cars!\n\n&apos; is not a valid HTML entity reference.

nothing!...it's non-sense...something like "Oh look at him! He's an attractive frog-man" (!?!?!?)...but that's after doing a bit of interpreting since the grammar is all scr*wed up!

Interesting is subjective.\n\n  In the advertising world as it relates to auto shows etc. The design is that the woman ADDS to the probable, already interest of someone relating to the vehicle.\n\n  IE: A woman dressed to entice, sprawled on the HOOD of a car,,, may seem sexist, but her purpose is as much to distract as attract. \n\n   Assume I have a booth. I'm exhibiting my brand of vehicle. It's a sporty model, decent color, perhaps even generally popular,,, and I offer a free key chain to anyone visiting my booth. \n\n   Next to me is a subcompact, 4 door, not very attractive vehicle, with a Model, showing ITS features, as well as her own. I have to believe,,,from a testosterone point of view, that booth will attract more interest,,,at least initially.\n\n   Flatulence in the context you describe it, may seem funny to some. To me, it's a reaction to a natural occurrance, often unpleasnt, and we don't know how to appropriately react? \n    Do we laugh at something we very likely experience ourselves?\n    Do we hold our nose and move away?\n    Do we linger and inhale deeply?\n\n    I suggest disreagrding the occurrance.\n\nRev.

It is an appreviation for "postscript".  Originally, it was taken from Latin to mean "Post Scriptum".\n\nAccording to dictionary.com, postscript means, "A message appended at the end of a letter after the writer's signature and/or additional information appended to the manuscript, as of a book or article."

Yes, it can be the right word. For cars you could look on the Admag website, and for renting a flat you could look on an Estate Agent's website. Here's a couple of links to help you out: \n\nhttp://www.admag.co.uk/ \nhttp://www.your-move.co.uk/html/default.htm

Well, from the looks of it... stuff that has to do with sports cars.  That's what I get you are interested in by the intro.

it means making advertisments for websites, I guess by spams or pop ups, or maybe just like those "ads by google" thingies

I think the difference between the two sentences is:\n\n- cool cars are something general. Either men like them or they don't. If you want to say just one cool car, then you have to say "all men like this cool car."\n\n- a job is something specific. Therefore it makes sense to say "after we get a job". Becuase one assumes that even if we is plural, each person will only get one job.

It means to elaborate.\n\nTo add details, as to an account or idea; clarify the meaning of and discourse in a learned way, usually in writing.

I've always heard it stands for "sending people annoying messages", but this isn't true.  Other suggestions are "sales promotional advertising mail" or "simultaneously posted advertising message".  Actually it's based on a Monty Python skit.  In the skit, everything on the menu contained spam (just like every time you check your email you get spam).

That sounded like an ad. The only difference is that it looks like a 5 years old wrote it! Good job!

Ihis is a very awkward sentence in English, and a native speaker would not be likely to produce it. \n\nFirstly, you should use 'start with' in this context. You are speaking about the start of the advertisement, which is an event, not a place. If you were talking about a place, you could 'start from' there.  \n\nSecondly, the use of 'which' generally requires a comma to preceed it because it is a pronoun used at the beginning of clauses. You can more correctly use 'that' in this sentence. Alternatively, you may use 'who' to refer to the dog, but as with 'which', 'who' is a pronoun and requires a comma as it indicates the beginning of another clause in the sentence.\n\nYou are speaking about two dogs with gender. A male dog and the male dog's girlfriend, a female dog. Instead of using 'its', you would more correctly say 'his', however 'its' is often used in relation to animals regardless of their gender because many people do not regard animals as 'he' and 'she'. I would use 'his' in this context, however, because you are ascribing human values to these dogs with the use of the word 'girlfriend'.\n\nThe correct way to write this sentence is:\n"The advertisement started with a male dog that wanted to give a gift to his girlfriend".\nOR\n"The advertisement started with a male dog, who wanted to give a gift to his girlfriend".\n\nThere is a third alternative which involves a split verb, which would sound more acceptable as a sentence of English, but the rule involved to produce it may confuse you:\n"The advertisement started with a male dog, who wanted to give his girlfriend a gift."\n\nWe split this verb in order to emphasise what was given, not to whom it was given. The rule here involves understanding what is more important, the gift or the receiver of it. It is confusing to split verbs because you often lose parts: in this case, there is an implied 'to' that has been left out. The sentence is no less correct, but it is much harder to correctly produce.\n\nMy recommendation is to use "The advertisement started with a male dog, who wanted to give a gift to his girlfriend".

Gone Car - Jay and R M both have the right idea here. For purposes of clarity and ease of understanding, whenever possible a pronoun should be used in a sentence after the noun to which it refers. The sentence as you present it is not good English for this reason. Instead you could say here\n\n"Do you think it is a good idea when we study a sentence to break it and then restructure it?"\n\nor \n\n "Do you think it is a good idea to break a sentence and then reconstruct it when we are studying it?"\n\nor \n\n"Do you think, when we study a sentence, it is a good idea to break it and then restructure it?"\n\nor\n\n"When we study a sentence is it a good idea, do you think, to break it and then restructure it?"\n\n\nThese sentences are all correct, but I like the first two a little more than the last two because I think they are simpler in form and therefore a little easier to understand.  Notice though that in all four sentences here the "it"  which occurs twice and which refers to "sentence" is found both times after the word "sentence" has already been used. That just makes it easier for everyone to understand. Note also that in the first sentence you could include commas after "idea" and "sentence" if you like.\n\n-m

I have a couple grammar suggestions for you:\n\n- I'm not sure if this happened because of Yahoo or if you typed it in this way, but you should only have capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or for proper nouns (like for a person's name, or for a place name like "Paris", or for a product name like "Colgate").\n\n- Also, punctuation is VERY important.  If you don't clearly punctuate your writing, it is hard to understand.  For example, make sure that you have periods at the end of each of your sentences so that readers will know where one thought starts and another thought begins.\n\nIn terms of the clarity of this paragrpah, I here are my thoughts:\n\n- Figure out what the main thing that you're trying to say in this paragraph is, and make sure to state that CLEARLY in your first sentence.  This helps the reader to know what to expect to read in the paragraph.  Based on what you're writtetn, in sounds like your main point is something about how advertising, especially TV advertising, has the potential to influence people's behavior.  I would use the next few sentences to explain, generally, how television advertisements have the potential to influence people (I would do this by explaining how advertising companies target certain ads to certain audiences during certain programs, etc).  I would then say "For example..." and use your example of the Colgate commercial having the potential to influence a child to behave like the child he or she saw in the commerical.  I would then suggest that you have a sentence at the end of your paragrpah that conlcudes your ideas and helps to prepare the reader for what he/she will read in your next paragraph (if there is one).\n\nHope this helps!!
