New Delhi, Dec 10 : A taxi-aggregator company's full-page advertisement in a national daily amused Twitter users, who posted humorous comments online.
A user posted a picture of the advertisement with the headline: Are you planning to head out of the (sic) Delhi?
He wrote: "Is advertising dead? Not yet.
It's just recalibrating itself to new standards. Here is a global client and a MNC ad agency getting together to spend millions on a full-page print ad with a glaring error in the headline.
Nonchalantly. Well done." It got 119 retweets and 324 likes.
In reply, another user posted a picture of another ad which had "at anytime" in the headline and wrote: "Even the Mumbai edition is wrong.."At anytime"...but less glaring than "the Delhi"".
One user pointed out: "And it's Bhimashankar. Not Bhimashankari."
A post read: "If such a thing happened in the older days, someone's job would be gone but today will not even see the proverbial slap on the wrist!!" A Twitter user remarked: "Maybe it is an inadvertent mistake?"
One user said: "On a lighter note, maybe it was written by a Mumbai writer.
That's how they refer to our city :) No?"
A post read: "RIP Grammar! Hail the Proof Check guy."
