    It has no more of a double meaning then if I were to start a lottery with the slogan "Win ever you like."
    You have grounds to sue the public school system.

      Okay, so how am I wrong? At least I tried to explain why it doesn't make sense to me.

      It's just not proper English. They could include the word "In" before the slogan and it would make better sense, although they'd lose the "double meaning" of the word "always."

      Just to make sure I'm understanding it in the same way you are - they're trying to say that sex is on the mind in all ways possible, right?

      Just reply with a straight answer. It's all I ask.

            No, the ' is nowhere between the t and s key. That is a grammar error. Points off bitch.

              This two page thread is the very reason that the slogan SUCKS no matter how clever they think it is.

              Clever or not most surfers are going to pass it off as bad English.

                Because it is not the same as saying "Every ways in your brain." because that just wouldn't make sense.

                "Win ever you like." is not even close to being the same thing. Win and when don't even sound alike unless you are ESL or slur your words.

                          Did they ever hear of the word "always"????

                          Damn, I now feel very sorry for school teachers and the shit they had to read when correcting students papers.

                          And no, this is not a "play on words".

                                  Oh I see. I forget the differences in dialect. Most people around here pronounce "when" and "win" usually the same way.

                                  I don't normally carry that dialect, but I've started hearing it the same way in my head. I know it wasn't the best example/mockery.

                                  In all my years of English, literature, & journalism classes I've never heard of any rule that would make that proper. I don't think we're gonna agree here but I do appreciate your reply. Agree to disagree?

                                    I'm mildly confused....

                                    when i go to sex.com I see this....

                                    THE SHITTIEST PARKING PAGE i'VE EVER SEEN



                                    I honestly think whoever bought that domain for $14m or whatever it was must have some serious mental health issues if that's the best thing they can think of to do with it.....

                                        International traffic is parsed out to a seperate parking page which is why you are seeing a different page.

                                        Thank you.

                                            Well now that I think of the word "way" meaning "method", it does make more sense to me. So I guess I take back what I said before. I still think most would assume it as error, though.

                                            I'm done. Maybe this thread will finally die away - I'm sure Wonder Woman is about tired of it.

                                            P.S. Right or wrong I did laugh at the 'Engrish' thing from rhizome, so thanks for the laugh, guy.

                                              Just looked at the site... not a good slogan IMO - they need to order some pizzas, call a meeting, pack a bowl and get brainstorming

                                                I have had to deal with dialect issues when having podcasts done, so I can understand.



                                                Agree to disagree?

                                                Sure, but it appears you have subsequently seen the light.

                                                  Come on guys..Really.
                                                  Do you really think a company the size of Sex.com and nobody would realize that.

                                                  You know the meant "All Ways on your mind". Now that's creative branding. Look at how many of you are talking about it. Now you will tell your friends to go check it out, and that is more traffic for them. And if CyberAge was still on there, that would have been more traffic for me.

                                                  The power of branding, you got to love it.
