Works perfectly! (not Works Perfect)

I assume you were intentionally making the mistake so you could be just like Apple\’s ad campaign.

There\’s some \”rules\” of grammar I believe in. This isn\’t one of them. \”Works perfect!\” and \”Think different\” both sound fine to me, in this sort of informal setting.

If you keep watching, you might also see quoted text written this way: \”I\’ll see you later\”, he said.

I also make it a point to boldly split infinitives.

But, you won\’t see me getting its and it\’s backwards. Its a rule I follow carefully.

I know! I\’m shocked, shocked to find out that marketers would exaggerate so blatantly. This is clearly the work of a renegade copywriter. I bet hell hasn\’t ACTUALLY frozen over, either. Aren\’t there laws against this?
