Okay. I'm sitting here watching TV with my roommate. OK, Best Week Ever is on. I love that show. Those people get PAID to mock other people. What a great job. I get paid WHILE I mock people, normally, but I don't actually get paid to mock people.
So during Best Week Ever, there's this commercial for Haverty's. In case you are not aware, Haverty's sells furniture. So they have this holiday commercial (don't let me get back onto that...) that basically chops the "Have" off their name and uses it in sentence fragments.
Well, the first one is "Have a sneak peak."
Um. What? A sneak peak?
As in the peak of a mountain? Not a sneak peek? As in a preview? Um. Maybe you should proofread your copy before you run it in a national ad campaign. Seriously.
I should probably add that during the portion of the commercial where this copy is featured, there is a young boy peeking into a hutch or something like that... I can't remember what those things are called.
Clearly peek, and not peak. Sneak Peak. "We're going to climb a mountain, but shhh! don't tell anyone!"
