How our perception of language is shaped by society and advertising! To think, there is probably a foreign tongue in which "Pay nothing until Spring" translates as "Live freely forever", which is a pretty bold offer for a mobile phone company. As was the famous case with the slogan "Pepsi makes you come alive" which translated back from the Japanese became "Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead", why are people ever surprised by war....
Spent Saturday lying in a darkened room, sporadically throwing up. You?
Remember: when in doubt, mumble.
