Truth to be told, I can't see anything wrong with this ad (but if you put it as a boob watch there is definitely something wrong). Have I mention my grammar is not so good?
I think most ad for 'free register ........' are like this so I think all are correct. Pls explain later 'bout this ad k and inform me when the quiz thread is opening back.

Tq.

brought that up? isn't it suppose to be - thanks for bringing it up?

as a moderator who open such a thread to teach or to share the problems in reading or understanding English
such grammat ...

I agree that it should be "thanks for bringing it up" too..
Anyway, I am supposed  that " isnt it supposed to be"  instead of "isnt it suppose to be".
Cheers

"Should not it be"...the correct one lah...
am just sharing my idea as well...

thread ni kalu kita nak buat posting kena tulis in english ke..  i don't think so..
so aku rasa yang tulis english ada salah sikit sikit tu atau ada slang menyelang tu tak yah la tegur macam nak menunjuk-nunjuk lak aku rasa..siap dengan tertawa bagai  lagi..  bukan standard english pun yang nak di post kan kat thread ni kan...(betul kan aku kalau aku silap)

so kalau nak memperbetulkan sesama kita ni (aku ni english haprak sikit) jadi bukan nak betulkan sesapa  tapi aku rasa kalau korang nak betul kan english atau post in english aku nampak thread yang sesuai untuk tujuan tu!!

http://forum4.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=263027&extra=page%3D1

lagi pula aku nampak la kan; yang tukang nak betulkan orang2 lain punya post tu seolah macam nak memalukan dengan emoticon cam tu... mungkin aku aje yang ternampak kot...  kalau nak betulkan pun tak yah ler nak ketawakan ke  atau perli ka...  aku suka baca thread ni sebab tajuk thread ada perkataan 'boob' aje  hehe.. (aku skodeng2 la jugak ingat kan ada gak gambar 'boob' ke apa ke, tapi masih tak jumpa lagi.. huhu)

kamu ni terlalu serius lah!
Like what our moderator said, we learn standard english together. by pointing out the errors of each other, we could  realize what are our mistakes.

aku? serious? hehe... banyak benda lain yang aku boleh serious and trust me, this is not even in the list... ..  memanglah learn standard english semua tu baguih.. tapi baca post aku betul2 sikit..   aku pointing out yang thread untuk tu ada kat atas tu.. post kat sana  learn your standard english  etc...    kat sini mod cuma post boob watch aje (aku masih tunggu gambar 'boob') .. dan kalau ada member yang nak post   malay punya error ka  english ka  aku rasa no hal... in fact aku rasa mod pun bukannya cakap tulis standard english kat sini     

dah dah... ha  pergi cari mana2 boob watch  aku pun nak skodeng sama

i think registration free is still not suitable -

instead:

"Register as a BonusLink member for FREE now'


however i still will reward you 10 credits for your effort -

keep it up and thanks -

"Register as a BonusLink member for FREE now" ???
panjangnya ayat tu.. muat ke petak iklan tu ek?

rasanya kalau ikut konsep advertising, 'ayat2 penarik' ni selalunya simple je
- pendek, mudah difahami, struktur ayat yg betul & straight 2 the point
sbb utk buat iklan dalam suratkhabar atau majalah,
kita kena bayar utk setiap petak (ikut saiz) atau setiap huruf..
(& selalunya ayat *terms & conditions* tu ditaip kecik halus2 je)

so kalau dalam iklan TESC0 & b0nuslink ni, rasa2nya cukup kalau juz tulis :
"FREE B0NUSLINK REGISTRATION", or "FREE B0NUSLINK MEMBERSHIP : REGISTER NOW~!"
ataupun "REGISTER NOW FOR FREE B0NUSLINK MEMBERSHIP"
eh? betul ke ayat tu? macam makin panjang & xbetul je.. hahaha..

pastu perkataan FREE tu buat la besor2 - orang Malaysia kan suka benda FREE..
