Writing Feedback / False, deceptive advertising - strategies to deceive consumers [2]
The following are the corrections that I think should be applied to the text: 1. 'there has been an precendented ' - an unprecedented. 2. 'They take advantage ' - These companies take advantage. 3. 'to fool consumers ' - to mislead consumers. 4. 'a lot of people discuss ' - people used to discuss. 5. 'What they get ' - What buyers get. 5. 'A pair of sneakers endorsed by a race champion may be more appealing than those without celebrities ' - A pair of sneakers, endorsed by a celebrity, will represent a much greater commercial appeal to consumers, as compared to what it would have been the case without such an endorsement. 6. 'advertisements make consumers confused by using scientific concepts ' - advertisers often confuse consumers by the mean of referring to the opinions of 'experts', which are, in fact, nothing but hired actors.
