Okay, are you looking for like spelling and grammar errors?
Becuase in the first ad, "Change" isn't supposed to start with an upper-case C. I could be wrong. _________________

Mayeb i'm just seeing things...or not...but that guy (chinese looking) does NOT have a pencil or pen in his hand, what is he writing with? i dunno, i didn't see anything.
Ok, if you're the first person on yoru block to BUY and XBOX, how do you get it free?
Also, in #2, if it's a survey why are they asking your opinion, surveys are for reults, there could be so many movies...?? _________________

(From school) It's a broken pic?
Anyways, since when is "X" a vowel that it's "an"? Did I miss an important English lesson here? or something? _________________ http://www.chronixradio.com |

"X" isn't a vowel, but in English, it's not the first letter of a word that determines the article, but the first sound. If it's a vowel sound, then it has "an" for the singular indefinite article.
The sound of "X" = "ecks". Say it out loud. Eh. It's a variation on the E vowel sound so it has "an" as the article. _________________

Hey, you DO learn something new everyday, and most of it's not in school, ironically enough. _________________ http://www.chronixradio.com |

#1-What change are you making at a university?
#2-Recieve a $20.00 check, who hands checks out as prizes
#3-Does that make any sense, is there a little person checking what block you live on to see if your the first to get an xbox or something? |
