grammatically correct...at last!

ever since apple came out with its current generation of the ipod shuffle, their marketing stratagem has been "wearable color." i think all the colors are great-- the orange is waaaaay better than the ipod mini's orange/brown/vomit color-- remember that? so for the past couple of months they've been using the line "put some color on." i think it's fun and funky and really appropriate for the audience they're trying to target.

i can't help buy cringe every time i hear it though. i know it's totally nerdy of me to be such a nit-picker, but come on apple! i learned back in middle school that you should never end a sentence with a preposition. finally! i found a grammatically-correct shuffle ad this morning and i just had to post it somewhere. i wonder what made them change.

reading it, it just doesn't have the same effect. grammar has made it tragically unhip.

tisk tisk, apple.


yay! grammar!
