Doe, a Deer, a Female Deer
I am totally confused by the advertising for the new Droid phone. Billboards are cropping up along freeways for the phone. But, they talk about a bucket of does or a pocketful of does. Now, they are not talking about deer, but that's the first thing I think of when I read the signs. I know that does do not come by the bucketful, nor are they bare-knuckled! They are using the word as the verb "does". I find it confusing and my mind cannot process the message! To me, that is bad marketing. Or is it? Here I am talking about it. It got my attention, no matter how poorly.

Funny. I never thought of a deer. I've always thought of the verb when I saw the billboard. Guess everyone processes words differently
