What does "pre-order" mean? If one does that doesn't it mean they are ordering something--just before it is released? Do we need to pre-order before we order? I understand how a car can be "pre-owned." It's just a short-cut for previously owned--nicer than "used." But pre-order?
If we use Direct Buy, things will cost "almost half" of what they would cost at retail. I think the original idea may have been that one would save almost half, but something got switched writing the commercial to fit the time available. Isn't a cost of "almost half" kind of a strange thing to say, like it would be even better to cost "half"?
I also think "evaluating an investigational medication" seems redundant. If we are investigating a medication, isn't it also an evaluation? Is that too simple? Not enough legal language?
I haven't even mentioned the subject/verb disagreements that I hear all the time, especially with compound subjects. That's fodder for another day.

I'm not really going to Fiji. I just wish I could. Life is starting to calm down.
