Since I’m not writing for a newspaper, I don’t avoid “is” in my headlines. “Obama a great orator” would look pretty goofy as a blog post title.
“Obama’s” here is the perfectly acceptable contraction of “Obama is”: http://esl.about.com/library/grammar/blgr_contractions.htm

]]> Comment on Watch your loaded language by Aimee http://www.christinanewberry.com/blog/watch-your-loaded-language/comment-page-1/#comment-1934 Aimee Mon, 19 Jan 2009 05:22:50 +0000 http://www.christinanewberry.com/blog/watch-your-loaded-language/#comment-1934 I saw that ad at the Bay today, and couldn’t believe my eyes. Would a giant retailer get away with an ad that says “I have a dream–of products that are judged by how they feel on my skin.” No, they wouldn’t. I want to know what hack ad agency did this.

I found your blog by googling “Clarins” + “Right to choose.” I knew other people would be as irritated as I was about these ads, and I’m frankly surprised there aren’t more posts about this.
